What My Clients Say

  • I wasn’t sure what to expect prior to my first meeting with Robin. However, after the first meeting it was clear that she was a wealth of knowledge. She has drastically improved my garden, providing seemingly endless information and resources about how to most efficiently construct the garden structurally, placement based on lighting, irrigation, and even placement of plants (and flowers) in the garden itself. My garden is flourishing and it brings me such joy. I am so grateful for her continued help, and the changes I have implemented from her advice have made my garden more efficient and more beautiful. I continue to draw upon her knowledge as I diversify the garden.

    Lindsey

  • Robin turned my dream of having a garden into a reality. With her expertise and knowledge, she led me through the steps of setting up a beautiful and quality garden for years to come. I value her ongoing support ensuring my gardening success.

    Stacey

  • Working with Robin was an absolute pleasure—not just because she’s a longtime friend, but because she’s truly exceptional at what she does. Her thoughtfulness is evident in every aspect of her work, from the initial design ideas to the finishing touches. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and her deep knowledge of plants, materials, and spatial design made the entire process seamless and inspiring. Best of all, she’s incredibly easy to work with—collaborative, communicative, and always open to ideas. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to transform their outdoor space.

    Rhonda

Hi, I’m Robin

The heart and hands behind Red Dirt Green Thumb. My journey into the world of gardening wasn't just a career choice; it's been a lifelong passion. For decades, I've immersed myself in understanding how plants thrive, how soil works, and how to create outdoor spaces that are both breathtakingly beautiful and genuinely functional.

My path led me to become an OSU-certified horticulturist, grounding my practical, hands-on experience with deep scientific knowledge. But more than the certifications, it's the countless hours spent in the dirt, observing, experimenting, and helping gardens flourish, that truly define my approach.
