About the designer...

Sharon received her training in Richmond, Virginia in the form of private tutoring by a leading East Coast landscape architect. While living there for 8 years, she worked on many historical estates, restoring and renovating gardens. One estate was used by Robert E. Lee as an arsenal during the Civil War and the cannons Lee's men used are still there today. Many of these gardens are a blend of true old world style with a little southern flavor mixed in.

Being a true Texan at heart, Sharon returned to Austin in 1994 and has created gardens in Austin and the Texas hill country since that time. Although European style gardens remain a favorite, she has created many wonderful contemporary and natural gardens for her clients' enjoyment.

Sharon's designs have been featured on HGTV and photographed by Southern Living Magazine. Along with helping her many clients, she is also an insturctor at Austin Community College, teaching landscape graphics and design. Garden articles that Sharon has written have appeared in the Westlake Picayune and she is currently writing a college level textbook on garden design.
