Hi, I’m Lauren Wollny — garden consultant, food forest designer, and lifelong plant enthusiast.

My love for gardening started early—eating sun-warmed green beans and tomatoes straight from our backyard. My dad is a landscaper, and from him, I learned the importance of good soil, thoughtful design, and working with nature from the ground up.

For over a decade, I’ve tended to my own thriving gardens, learning through trial, error, and a lot of dirty hands. That journey—filled with both successes and setbacks—inspired me to become a garden consultant. I’m now a certified Gardenary.com consultant and passionate about helping others grow confident in their own green spaces.

One of my favorite projects is a 5,000-square-foot food forest I designed and helped bring to life, featuring 9 raised beds, 12 fruit trees, and over 50 fruiting bushes. I oversaw the installation to ensure every element aligned with the vision—creating a space that thrives in sync with nature, welcomes beneficial wildlife, keeps pests in check naturally, and produces food in a beautiful, balanced way.

I believe gardens should work with nature, not against it. My designs focus on creating harmony—spaces that are abundant, resilient, and deeply connected to their environment.

I’m also endlessly fascinated by wild edible plants. I can’t help but point out the hidden harvests in friends’ and clients’ yards—you’d be surprised how much food is already growing around you.

Whether you’re dreaming of a lush food forest or simply want a garden that feels more alive, I’d love to help you bring that vision to life—rooted in nature, and in you.
