About Us
I am Laureen Rama. My lifelong passion is beautifying landscapes in ways
that enhance the natural environment. I have been landscaping most of my
life, from helping my parents landscape yards as a child, in towns across
Western Canada, to beautifying landscapes as an adult, inspired
by travelling and living in different landscapes around the world and North
America.
I’ve taken courses, read lots of books and magazines, visited and spoken to gardeners whenever and wherever I can, and experimented with what works and what doesn’t in many different kinds of yards.
I have worked as an international development educator, public involvement consultant, management consultant specializing in creativity, and as a shamanic healer and teacher.
I strongly believe we should leave the land we steward in better shape than we found it. Life on earth depends on the vitality of the topsoil and the plants that grow in it. We can enrich the soil and enliven the energy of the places we steward by using sustainable landscaping methods. In this way we create a healthier, more beautiful, and fruitful world.
I work with a crew of assistants and sub-contractors who love the earth too! My nephew Nigel Cyr has worked for me for many years and now is leading the snow removal and Spring and Fall clean-up services so he can work year-round in eco-friendly landscaping.
