Alison Pickard-Draper
Alison is an energetic and creative designer with a wealth of experience in the landscape and garden centre industry.
Alison is a graduate of the University of Guelph, the Master Gardener program, and the Verge Permaculture Design Certificate program . She runs a microfarm with a greenhouse, and grows produce supplying several other families on a weekly basis. She is also raising a delightful 3 year old with her musician husband Jeff.
As former tree and shrub manager AND designer at Greenland Garden Centre - and being an avid gardener - she knows what grows!
She will bring her observant, solution oriented skills to help you create order and beauty to your outdoor spaces.
Alison did an amazing job from start to finish on our whole design. She was a great listener, had a lot of super ideas and made awesome suggestions that were so perfect based on our wishes (and dreams) for our yard. She was a real pleasure to work with and I absolutely love the design! So many great little spaces in our plan - everything from a secret garden and outdoor work area for me, to relaxing nooks and spacious outdoor rooms for gatherings of all kinds. We are so excited to get started on our backyard oasis.

We are very happy with the elegant and simple design plan that Alison prepared for out condo complex frontage. It is balanced and colourful with a selection of low maintenance shrubs and trees that will provide colour and flowers throughout our Edmonton seasons. Alison understood what we were trying to achieve and was always responsive to questions and assured us that she would be available for questions during the construction stage. Adele's responses to our administrative questions were prompt and helpful. A friend in the water feature construction business recommended Earthworm as one of the best in Edmonton.
