Our family
Owner. Design. Plant Expert.
Rebecca Rico has always loved plants, and sharing her joy of discovery in nature with others. She grew up gardening in her parent’s Chicago back yard, and created her first indoor plantings as a grade schooler with the idea that no plant is too small to love. Rebecca’s landscape design expertise includes organic food growing and ediblescaping, perennial and native planting, pollinator gardens, fine gardening changes and additions to any space, and indoor plant design. Interesting plants and colors are key to Rebecca’s vision, and pair well with her ability to create flow for each client’s use. After fifteen years of managing nonprofit programs and organizations (such as Peterson Garden Project) in the City, Rebecca dove into the opportunity to start a family landscape design business with a longtime friend.
Owner. Antiquities.
Bill Crawford learned to love plants from his father, and it was the perfect match when the opportunity to reach his lifelong goal of owning a business involved plants. A career firefighter of over 20 years at Deerfield Bannockburn, Bill grew up in Wilmette, graduated from New Trier, and looks forward to serving his community in another capacity. He has been interested in antiquities, particularly pottery and planters, since he was a small child and now uses his knowledge and research skills to find just the right pieces for clients. Added bonus? Rebecca will probably send him to deliver those heavy planters and plants to you.
Social Media. House Plants. Design.
While kayla loves nature, planting outside is not her favorite. She loves all indoor plants and with her background of owning a pet store is a great person to call in for pet safe house plants!
Metalsmith. Builder. Garden Installer.
As much as the rest of us love plants, Chris loves creating pieces from metal and wood. A trained metalsmith who builds high end kitchen oven hoods, metal walls, and household items by day, he moonlights with us to create custom planters and garden accessories. His eye for space and material adds extra style to our garden designs. You'll also see him planting, since he can't resist being called to help mom.
Watering Expert. House Plant Cleaner.
If you see Becky and Kayla, you'll likely see Norah too! Growing up in plant yards and community gardens, Norah has picked up the knack for caring for plants just like her sister and mom.
Planting Expert.
Braden loves to explore nature and is happy to pitch in for plant installations with his dad, Bill.
