I am a member of The Association of Professsional Landscape Designers (APLD). I hold a degree from College of the Redwoods and have been a landscape designer at The Plantworks Nursery for over 10 years. I am an Advanced California Nursery Professional. Specializing in residential landscape design, I have worked with hundreds of clients, guiding them successfully through the design process to create gardens unique to them and their property. With my knowledge and expertise with plants, perennials, trees, patios, decks and walkways, I can transform your dream into a landscape you can enjoy for many years.

My website, Jan Nelson Landscape Design, provides a portfolio of my work and offers online communications and design services to my clientele.

I am the author of the Mountain Gardener, a weekly newpaper column which provides gardening and garden management tips and tricks to the Scotts Valley Banner/Valley Press readership.
