Hi! I'm Sari Lampinen.
I'm a landscape and garden designer with 20+ years of experience helping homeowners create outdoor spaces that feel both beautiful and natural.
I’ve learned that the most magical garden moments often happen right where the lawn meets the trees—the woodland edge. But for many, that spot feels harsh, empty, or just confusing.
That’s why I created a simple plant list—to help you skip the overwhelm and get started straight away. These are plants Ive seen work again and again for my clients - easy, reliable, and a joy to grow.
Together, we’ll turn that tricky edge into a border that feels alive, welcoming, and connected to the trees beyond.
