After working in the public affairs and advertising fields for several Fortune 500 companies, Kelly traded her briefcase for a good pair of gardening gloves and earned a certificate in Landscape Design from the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. She has been designing gardens for her clients all across Fairfield County and the Boston area for over ten years. She is particularly good at space planning, no matter the size of the project, and she has a finely tuned design process that keeps people knocking on her door. 

“To borrow an old marketing phrase, I try to find the ‘best and highest use’ for the gardens that I work on. This involves getting really acquainted with the land, meeting all the family members who will use the space (including the four-legged ones), and taking note of the architectural style of the home and its interiors.  Once I get a really good idea of what my clients want, what their property offers, and what will be appropriate stylistically, I can put together a plan that is functional, in tune with the environment, and is aesthetically beautiful.”
