Meet Karla

Karla Kramer is a Portland-based landscape designer who assists her clients in creating vibrant outdoor environments that are custom by design yet practical using good design principles as her guide. 

• Attended the Landscape Technologies Program through Portland Community College 1999 - 2001

​

• Master Gardener Certification in 2008  

Along with cohesive hardscaping layout, she enjoys incorporating a variety of plant materials to create all-season interest and beauty.  

Karla is a native Oregonian, born and raised in the Pacific Northwest in a small town just West of Portland.  She has gardened most of her life and considers herself an "eternal student" both in design, nature and life.

​

She owes her gardening knowledge and interest to Rusty and Lola, her grandparents and to her father, who planted a half acre of potatoes just because.
