I’m Kelsey, the founder and design lead behind Living Earth Native Gardens. My love for California native plants grew from birdwatching and a fascination with the relationships between plants, wildlife, and the landscapes we call home.

I started Living Earth to help people create gardens that feel beautiful and personal, while fostering a deeper relationship with the plants, wildlife, and landscapes found right in their own yards. My approach is rooted in observation, curiosity, and a belief that gardens aren't just for us — the best gardens are the ones buzzing, blooming, and changing with the seasons.
