Hi, I’m Cindy.

I've spent more than 17 years designing container gardens across the Pacific Northwest — and what I've learned is that great containers aren't magic. They're decisions.

Containers are one of the most overlooked elements in outdoor living. Done well, they completely transform how a space looks, feels, and functions. That blend of beauty, function, and everyday delight is what first drew me to this work — and it's still what keeps me hooked.

Garden Revelry began as a hands-on design and installation business serving homes and clients across the region. Over time it grew into something more — a place for education, inspiration, and genuine support.

Through online courses, speaking, coaching, and resources, I share what I've learned with homeowners who want more from their outdoor spaces and industry peers who want to grow their businesses. Because great container gardening doesn't require a perfect space or a mysterious design gift. It comes from good decisions, a little plant knowledge, and a willingness to experiment.
