I’m StephenieAnne — horticulturist, educator, and founder of Gardens by Steph. With a degree in Botany and Horticulture from Miami University and over a decade of hands-on experience, my work blends plant science with thoughtful design.

I provide garden stewardship, seasonal design, and horticultural guidance for homeowners and boutique businesses who value refined, well-managed landscapes.

My approach is grounded in plant knowledge, seasonal rhythm, and long-term garden health. Each space is evaluated with attention to structure, soil vitality, plant longevity, and sustainable growth — ensuring beauty that evolves naturally over time.

This is not decorative landscaping.

It is careful cultivation.

I specialize in small-scale residential gardens and boutique commercial properties. By intentionally limiting the number of gardens I care for each season, I’m able to provide consistent oversight and meaningful attention to every space.

Gardens benefit from steady hands and informed decisions.

• Ongoing Garden Stewardship

• Seasonal Restoration

• Garden Design

• Container Styling

• Garden Coaching

Each service is structured to support clarity, longevity, and ease.

Based in Somerset, Kentucky, I work with clients throughout the Lake Cumberland region who appreciate subtle detail, natural balance, and horticultural expertise.

If you’re seeking knowledgeable guidance and intentional care for your garden, I welcome your inquiry.

“Working with Steph feels calm and intentional from the very beginning. She listens carefully, notices the small things, and brings a level of thoughtfulness that makes the garden feel truly cared for.”
