Barbara's Biography:
Hilty has been doing landscape design in the Pacific Northwest for over 20 years. The jobs in the Pacific Northwest have been in very diverse microclimates, ranging from the coast to the mountains. (She has also done landscape jobs in Colorado, New Mexico and West Virginia.)

Barbara has a degree in Renewable Natural Resources from UC Davis and a life long interest in sustainability giving her a scientific understanding of the ecology of place and how to best create a healthy garden for her clients.

Hilty enjoys the always-changing design challenges her clients throw her plus the chance to learn more with each new plant introduction, new developments in the industry, in science, and in the art world.

Barbara studied landscape design at Portland Community College, and she comes from a family of artists. She visits gardens when ever she can, either locally or in other countries for more inspiration and ideas that can be used in her design work. Most of her landscape design work comes from referrals from previous satisfied clients.
