About Heather Grace Gardens
Welcome to Heather Grace Gardens!
I'm Heather Strianese, a passionate landscape designer and gardener since 2014. I specialize in creating beautiful, livable landscapes that enhance your home and connect you to nature. Whether you're dreaming of a full landscape design or simply want to refresh a specific area, I'm here to help.
As both a designer and plant specialist, I take great care in selecting plants that are not only well-suited to your space but also bring long-lasting beauty and function to your garden. I design with an emphasis on seasonal interest, sustainability, and a strong sense of place—often incorporating native plants and pollinator-friendly choices that support local ecosystems. From serene retreats to playful family spaces to productive kitchen gardens, every design is tailored to your lifestyle and growing conditions.
Let’s grow something beautiful together!
The Design Process
Creating your new landscape or garden is an easy 3 step process!
Plan and Design
It starts with an hour long consultation and moves into creating a personalized design to bring your vision to life.
Plant and Install
After designs are finalized, it's time to make that vision a reality - installing hardscape to individualized plant choices.
Enjoy your new yard!
Now the garden is ready to be lived in and enjoyed. Need more support? Ask about my coaching and maintenance services!
