About Us:

     Gardening is my passion.  As a member of the Garden Conservancy for over 10 years I visited many private gardens studying and dreaming that one day I would have gardens that qualified for acceptance into the Conservancy. 

     In 2002, I started restoring the gardens on a large estate in Westchester County, New York and in 2005, we nominated them and they were approved.  The gardens are included by the Garden Conservancy in their Directory of America’s most beautiful private gardens.  Please see the Link to the left for this year’s Open Day and come visit us.

     On the weekends, I can be found working the woodlands on my own farm.  So, I'm always exposed to the elements and everything that crawls and flies.

     Twenty years ago, I was suffered with an acute case of Lyme disease.  My fear of ticks began, but even more so, was my distrust of the over-the-counter products containing Deet and other chemicals.     My research led me to an old fly fisherman's recipe and I developed an incredible herbal-based bug spray that not only works great, it also smells delicious.  The ingredients are listed on the bottle, so you know exactly what it contains.

     For a decade, I made it for my own use, my dogs, and horses.  My clients love it.  My husband loves it.  People finally convinced me to market it for distribution.  So, here it is.  Trust me, try it.
