Our Owner
Energetic, enthusiastic and adventurous! Kayla Lamb was born and raised on the colorful east coast in New Hampshire, moved to the Midwest in 2009 and she's been living in Des Moines' Beaverdale Community since 2016. She spends most of her time staying busy in a garden, crafting and playing with her dog, Sunny. In the winter she hits the road, traveling the country with her pup, learning about gardening in all areas and seeing our National Parks! She's always had a love for gardening and nature, but it wasn't until 2017 that she decided to turn her love for clean and well maintained gardens into a business. She has a strong passion to help folks turn their yard into something they are proud of!
