About Deborah Thomas Gardens

In 2004, having always been in love with plants, pretty gardens and the outdoors, Deborah decided to take a “fun” class at City College of San Francisco. A few years later, she earned her certificate in Environmental Horticulture Landscape Design, left her job in marketing for a wine importer, apprenticed with two SF Bay Area fine gardeners, and grew her own clients.

“Gardens are a place for expression and for tranquility, they evolve with energy for every occasion.”
–Deborah Thomas

“Deb has completely transformed our front garden into an oasis of greenery and flowers. It’s beautiful and gets better as plants fill in.  Deb is very knowledgeable and makes great recommendations for plants suitable for my area, passionate about her work, knows what plant combinations are aesthetically pleasing and is very easy to work with. I highly recommend her. “

“Deb transformed our empty side yard into an enchanting secret garden.  She has a great eye and wonderful ideas, and she is so easy to work with.  

We feel so lucky to have been working with her for more than 2 years as our garden continues to grow and thrive.”
