Come watch a local home's aging landscape brought to life again in a slide show presentation followed by steps on how to get started at your own home! Kathy is from Corpus Christi and began her career gardening with her dad as a young girl. She is a graduate of Texas A&M, Certified Professional Landscape Designer, Texas Certified Nursery Professional, and an award winning Landscape Designer, Gill Landscape Nursery for over 25 years. |
