About Anne

From wind turbines to wildflowers

Anne Pedersen spent a decade managing large-scale renewable energy projects for one of the world's largest wind turbine manufacturers, coordinating delivery and installation across North America. She understands complex systems, tight timelines, and how to make things work at scale.

Then she looked at her own front yard and realized the same engineering mind could serve a different purpose. The lawn was fine. It was also doing nothing, supporting no birds, no pollinators, no life beyond the mower.

Mother's Gardener grew from that realization. Anne now designs landscapes using Ontario native plants, building gardens that support pollinators, songbirds, and beneficial insects while looking striking from the sidewalk. She is also a dedicated advocate for changing municipal bylaws to support ecological gardening in urban spaces.

She is a mother of two boys and gardens the way she parents: with patience, a long view, and deep respect for what the land already knows how to do.

What We Do

Ecological landscaping, rooted in care

Every garden we touch increases biodiversity, supports local wildlife, and grows more beautiful year after year. We work with private homeowners, schools, NGOs, conservation authorities, and commercial properties.

Landscape Design

From backyard meadows to formal front yards, we build the scope together to suit your needs and budget. Every design increases your landscape's ecological function and visual appeal, using native plants suited to your exact site conditions.

Garden Care

Restorative maintenance that keeps your perennial beds thriving and the biodiversity they support healthy. Flexible care programs tailored to the seasons and your garden's evolving needs.

Workshops & Talks

For HOAs, garden clubs, classrooms, or a few friends around a kitchen table. We tailor workshops to your audience and location, sharing what we've learned about gardening for biodiversity.

Native Plants & Community

Looking for native plants for your area? We carry species suited to Ontario conditions. We also give back through community projects that connect children and families with the land.

Getting Started

Three steps to a living landscape

We welcome projects of all sizes and tailor both scope and price to each installation, from small urban plots to larger restoration sites.

1

Site Visit

We visit your property, assess light, soil, moisture, and existing conditions. You tell us what you want, and we listen.

2

Design & Plan

You receive a site assessment report and a preliminary design mockup. We refine the plan together until it fits your vision and budget.

3

Plant & Grow

We install your garden and guide you through its first seasons. Native gardens strengthen over time, and so will yours.

Every native plant you grow is a small act of repair

Ontario's urban landscapes are dominated by turf grass, which supports almost no wildlife. A single native flower bed can host dozens of pollinator species, feed migratory birds, filter stormwater, and build soil.

We believe cities can be richer habitats. We work alongside community groups, conservation authorities, and local advocates pushing for municipal bylaws that support ecological gardening.
