"Today I looked out at the front yard and saw a flock of birds poking about the plants and soil. They were so happy. At the same
time, there were two squirrels — a mama and baby. So much life swirling about my garden! I looked at nearby 'gardens' and
everything was still, almost dead. You have created such an amazing habitat for the local wildlife Kathryn!"

River City Gardens' designs are influenced, as is Kathryn herself, by the beauty and serenity of the Pacific Northwest landscape—giant trees, rain, rivers, ocean and majestic sky. Our goal is to build gardens that look and feel as at home here as we do!
River City Gardens is committed to professional, high-quality design and fair, ethical business practices. To help stay informed and to facilitate interaction with other business and design professionals, Kathryn is a member of the Association of Northwest Landscape Designers, Association of Professional Landscape Designers, The Hardy Plant Society of Oregon and Oregon Tilth.
