Leslie is an artisanal landscape pruner with over fifteen years of experience throughout the Bay
Area and Japan. Leslie brings together a fine art background (UCB), years of pruning and horticultural training, and an apprenticeship with a premier
Japanese landscaping company to be able to stylize trees in a way that allows the tree’s natural beauty to shine. “I am not the maker of beauty, I am the
tree’s assistant,” Leslie says. For her Bay Area clients, Leslie offers design consultation for the overall garden, and does naturalized pruning on almost
any specimen of small tree or shrub. She works in small private landscapes, large estates and occasionally public gardens (Portland Japanese Garden,
Tassajara, Green Gulch). She helps customers design their gardens over time, bringing out beauty and atmosphere as desired. Sometimes Leslie will prune just
one special camellia plant in a woodland landscape, help choose appropriate trees for a Ca. native garden, or work with a group of plants in an eclectic
sculpture garden. Leslie lectures and teaches pruning classes yearly while she writes a memoir of her adventures as a woman training in both Berkeley and
Japan with traditional craftsmen.
Work area: Berkeley, Oakland, Contra Costa and Marin County primarily.
