For her entire life, Lisa Burton has been a passionate gardener. In 1995, she experienced an epiphany while serving as a primary care giver to her terminally ill father. She learned that gardens can be much more than just a place of aesthetic beauty. She found that they can also be a place where one can find sanctuary and inspiration, gain personal growth, and experience the earth’s natural cycles. She learned about being in balance with the earth through environmental stewardship in her own back yard where she implemented sustainable landscaping principles and provided a rich garden habitat for the birds, butterflies, beneficial insects, and other various creatures.

In 2001, and after much research and education, Lisa decided to share her knowledge and perspective by becoming a certified Master Gardener and professional garden designer. In this capacity, Lisa is committed to assisting her clients with the creation of their own garden sanctuaries and wildlife habitats that are in balance with the environment and reflect the beauty and wonderment of nature.

Lisa received Special Recognition for her commitment to “Think Global, Act Local” from the Ventura County Board of Supervisors during their 2010 Climate Action Awards ceremony.Lisa’s own personal garden is certified as a wildlife habitat by the National Wildlife Federation.
