Julie comes from a long line of gardeners from whom her passion for gardening blossomed.  What began as a hobby grew into a business as friends and neighbors in the Norcross area hired her to help them develop their gardens.  Years of experience gave this self-taught gardener the knowledge and confidence that gardening in the hot humid South requires.  As her business grew, Julie furthered her education by a becoming certified Gwinnett County Master Gardener and attending horticulture and landscape design classes through Gwinnett Tech.  Julie has been co-owner of Gardens by Design for almost a decade.  She can be contacted at www.gardens-bydesign.com.
