• Landscaper for 15 years. I love to take on a challenge, collaborating and planning the transformation of your landscape project from start to finish.  I have landscape design experience in a wide array of settings including projects for homeowners, businesses, and organizations.   My biggest project was at Oak Grove Cemetery filled with beautiful plants, shrubbery and  flowering trees.  We did around the main building, all signs, and the gorgeous Arches! My love of gardening comes from spending summers with my grandparents on their farm in Missouri. My mother has also influenced me and has been an asset in helping me acquire knowledge of plants from our many discussions and trips to nurseries. I tease her that she is on retainer as my consultant.
   

• Acquired Take II Staging and Redesign LLC on November 1, 2020. Have been trained as Certified Interior  Redesigner (CIR) and Certified Interior Staging Specialist (CISS).

​

• Integral to my work are my core values which include customer service, attention to detail, sustainability, environmentally friendly practices in harmony with nature; including increasing pollinator populations.  
   

• Kindergarten teacher for 32 years teaching over 700 children.  My passions include educating children and adults to become life-long learners who give back to their community.  I led a school building playground project developing three playgrounds; including designing, fundraising and organizing a team of volunteers.
   

• Another passion is helping people realize their dreams and visions for their home, inside and out. I firmly believe that every person should have a place they can call home. I was a faith build champion for Habitat for Humanity. 
   

• My hobbies include pottery, kayaking, golfing, biking, reading and volunteering.
   

• Married to Timothy Jacobson, I have 3 adult children and 3 grandchildren.
   

• How I got my start:  I helped friends with their landscaping free of charge for over 10 years before starting my own business. One day when I was training for a half marathon, as I passed a neighbor's house she asked if I happened to know anything about bushes. I told her I’d come chat after my run. After a consult, they asked if I was for hire, and I decided to go for it!
   

• Fun Fact: I appear in the highly-awarded environmental documentary film Decoding the Driftless that my husband co-produced. It won a Regional Emmy and has been shown on PBS in over 30 states!
