Beth Young Garden Design

For over 12 years Beth Young Garden Design has been helping homeowners in Oregon's Willamette Valley to create the gardens that they have always wanted.

In the past few years Beth has become a naturescaping "expert," first researching and teaching classes on the subject and recently writing the book The Naturescape Workbook: A Step-by-Step Guide for Bringing Nature to Your Backyard (Timber Press, 2011). She is always eager to apply these naturescaping principles to any yard that she designs, working with the homeowners to create spaces that are not only pleasurable but that work in concert with nature.

Beth Young Garden Design, LLC is temporarily closing its doors in Corvallis, Oregon, and will be back in June, 2012. If you are a Willamette Valley resident and are interested in working with Beth, she can be reached by email. She would be happy to set up a time to meet with you in June.

If you live elsewhere in the United States or in the UK Beth is available to help you create your perfect naturescape (this would involve travel to your property). Feel free to reach her by email or Skype to discuss. Beth splits her time between Siena, Italy and Corvallis, Oregon.

Clients' Letters

Dear Beth,
It has been a real pleasure working with you on our landscaping design. The end product is more than we expected. You have done an excellent job of capturing what is important to us, our interests and ideas. The color palette will compliment the house nicely. We have a clear idea of what our next steps will be.

Your enthusiasm and interest were as equally important as your knowledge and skills. Thank you so much. If you would like to use us as a reference in future jobs, feel free to do so. ~ Marie Laper, Corvallis

Hi Beth!
Charlie and I have wanted to drop you a note the last couple days to let you know how beautiful "your" landscaping design is going... Anyway we think of you often and just continue to thank you for showing us that our front yard can have a formal entry and be a beautiful and inviting place to just hang out in...we both walk the path at least a dozen times a day just lovin' every inch of it! ~ Becky Steinmetz, Corvallis

The yard design is beautiful - people stop their cars to look. Working with Beth was a pleasure - great suggestions, she understood what I thought I wanted - reasonable price. Best looking yard in the neighborhood! ~Marilyn Sarff, Corvallis

We love the plants you chose. You have done a great job incorporating just what we want! Thanks, Gary and Ann Glaze, Monroe

Dear Beth,
Hope all is well in your busy season. Just wanted to let you know that having a plan has sure made our job easier. Our yard was hardly ever used and now we are all out there constantly. Our garden boxes are in and veggies are growing. Our drilled rock fountain is bubbling happily and our new plants are sprouting new growth. Thanks again and have a great spring and summer. ~ Joyce Hays, Albany
