Meet Cassidy

Hi, I’m Cassidy!

I am the owner, creator and designer of Native Edible Designs. I have been working in the horticultural and agricultural fields for over a decade as a nursery manager, fine gardener, and farmworker. I graduated from URI with a degree in Plant Sciences while working full time as a landscape technician on the campus grounds.

My extensive horticultural skills & knowledge, passion for gardening, and knack for building and maintaining relationships make me a great fit for people looking for custom designs. I enjoy cultivating connected relationships with all of my clients and their gardens. Understanding your unique goals allows me to create personalized landscapes that will thrive for you and benefit the natural world.

I love working with plants and with people! I look forward to working with you to create a space for you to enjoy! 

Embrace the landscape as an

evolving, living and breathing entity.
