About Me, Design Gardens and My Love for Gardening

I'd just like to tell you a little about me.

Me in the Garden

I am Alison Rosenbrock the co-founder of Design-Gardens.com. I won two consecutive gold medals at the Lifestyle Garden Show in South Africa for a Japanese and a cactus garden. I have also won the prestigious Elle Decoration WOW award. I realized that I had a passion for garden designs, which were in high demand. I then decided to put her talents to good use in the community by starting Southern Inspirations I later desided to go online and started Design-Gardens.com. Our company has produced and continues to provide high quality garden designs ranging from small flower boxes to estates of several acres in size. Professional garden designs cost from anywhere between $800 to $100,000+; the average family cannot afford these services. Design Gardens also provides pre-made designs that enable anyone to customize and install a professional design for their garden - for as little as $37.
