Kathryn Leech, River City Gardens

River City Gardens is a small sustainable landscape design company in Portland, Oregon. The heart of River City Gardens is Kathryn Leech, APLD, a Certified Landscape Designer with many years experience in gardening, garden design, ornamental pruning and consulting on landscape installations.

River City Gardens' designs are influenced, as I am myself, by the beauty and serenity of the Pacific Northwest landscape—giant trees, rain, rivers, ocean and majestic sky. My goal is to build gardens that look and feel as at home here as we do!

Amy Whitworth, Plan-it Earth Design

Participate in a collaborative process with a creative garden artist, as we integrate your garden into your home and life. I'll use my experience and vision to interpret your desires and transform your land into a garden environment for healthy living and inspiration.

Earth-friendly gardens with year-round interest include native plants to provide food and shelter for local wildlife. Soil health (the foundation for an exuberant garden) is primary. Your garden will come alive as foliage colors and textures, with accents of bud, bloom, berry and seed change with the seasons.
