Our Work

"Anna has transformed our yard! We started with several large, completely empty beds in our front yard, and I worried it would take years for them to look full and mature. Anna knew exactly which plants would thrive in that space, and within a year our beds were filled with the most beautiful combination of native plants, shrubs, and flowers. And most importantly, she is an absolute pleasure to work with."

“Anna and all the helping hands at In Joy bring to the garden what we hope more people will bring to our lives, care. For folks who spend time cultivating spaces for refuge, community, and growth, Anna and crew are good stewards of the green kind. Great hearts, insight, and sound ethics all direct these folks to work smart, from the roots out. I can't stop hiring them.”

“When my lawn died from drought and water restrictions, Anna designed and installed a native meadow in the fall of 2023. Now entering its third season, it is thriving.

What was once dead sod and bare dirt has come alive with native plants, pollinators, so many colors, and seasonal beauty. Anna brings vision, hard work, and follow-through to every project. The result is a low-maintenance landscape that feels natural, vibrant, and alive.

I wanted a yard that could largely take care of itself, and Anna delivered.”
