Bee's Knees Fine Gardening
Who We Are
You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make.
Our values
We love the earth, and having the privilege to dig in the dirt and listen to the birds on a beautiful day is what brings us joy.
This is why:
-
The majority of our work is done without loud power tools. The exception is our leaf blowers, which are always powered by electricity, never gas.
-
We recommend replacing lawns with drought-tolerant native plant species.
-
Our eco-friendly pest and disease mitigation programs are carefully planned and scheduled only when needed, in order to keep vulnerable pollinators and other beneficial insects safe.
-
Our fertilizers are also applied with great care, to maintain a healthy pH balance in the soil.
-
We specialize in Colorado xeriscape, and our gardens flourish because our native plants love their home.
Meet the Owner
Zoe Simmons
Hi! My name is Zoe Simmons. I first began my gardening journey in 2013, studying for a BA in Horticulture and working for Stem’s Garden Design, and then later for Wildfire Gardens. I also spent a few years caring for indoor/tropical plants for Bristol Botanics.
All those years, I would go to work as a gardener, and then return home and continue to garden in my own yard, often long past the sun went down. To this day, I am happiest when I am tending to the soil.
Growing up in Colorado, I have always gravitated toward the arts (particularly painting), and maintain my artistic approach to gardening, where the soil is my canvas, and the plants are the colors in my palette. I cherish every opportunity to create an enchanting outdoor space, and there is nothing more valuable to me than sharing those creations with my clients and community.
