## About Healing Earth Design

- Our Story — Healing Earth Design was founded on the belief that caring for our natural spaces can be a powerful form of healing.

After experiencing personal loss, I returned to school for sustainable horticulture and landscape design, finding peace and purpose through working with plants, soil, and seasonal rhythms. What began as a way to heal grew into a calling to help others reconnect with the earth in meaningful, practical ways. — ![A white anemone flower with a golden center](https://healingearthdesignbysarah.com/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--d34e184eb14e7349462bcc9795e10a2357bacf9e/IMG_0035.webp)
- Who I Am — I'm Sarah Martin, a sustainable horticulture and landscape design graduate with over six years of hands-on gardening experience. My yard serves as a trial garden where I test plants, observe ecosystems, and refine designs before bringing ideas to clients.

I specialize in plant-forward design—no hardscapes, no unnecessary complexity—just thoughtful, site-appropriate plantings that are beautiful, resilient, and supportive of local ecosystems. — ![A bee on bright pink cosmos flowers](https://healingearthdesignbysarah.com/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTAsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--5148a5b4ef763254be08b9cefd67846020b59a33/IMG_0226.webp)
- My Approach — I believe in "right plant, right place." Every design begins with assessing the space, listening to the client, and what will thrive long-term.

Whether you're a beginner gardener or someone looking to deepen your connection to your outdoor space, I meet you where you are and help you grow with confidence. — ![A small yellow birdhouse in a sunlit planting bed](https://healingearthdesignbysarah.com/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTcsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--8a305dd597a4e53336ebb686cd42e75caf946ade/IMG_5033.jpeg)
- Let's Work Together — Healing Earth Design serves homeowners who want gardens that feel alive, intentional, and grounded in sustainability.

If you're ready to create a garden that gives back to you and to the earth, I'd love to work with you. — ![Volunteers planting a new bed along a sidewalk](https://healingearthdesignbysarah.com/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Mzg4LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--ca5e8d6cc5931d3815c487b1f293b9e68f396961/IMG_8938.webp)
