Growing up in the Dominican Republic, nature, particularly plants have always played a big role in Elisa’s life.  Living in a country where the weather allows people to enjoy the outdoors all-year-round, she became very interested in the beautiful array of textures, colors, forms, fragrances and shades of the Dominican flora.  This was the beginning of her passion for beauty and design.

She trained at the Inchbald School of Design, successfully completing one of the most demanding and prestigious garden design programs in the world. As a certified Virginia Master Gardener, who has worked as a landscape designer in England and in Italy she creates unique, environment conscious, personalized garden designs that can be developed into artful, beautiful gardens. Her designs reflect influences from the modern and naturalistic garden designs of Europe and her belief in environmentally sound garden practices ensure creating gardens that support the local ecosystem.
