From the Beginning

Love what you do...

 I, Erica Bradstreet, have always had a passion for gardening, as well as landscape design. It was in March 2013, when I began my career in this field with Broccolo Tree and Lawn Care. I worked my way up quickly into a position that allowed me to lead my own crew, while still having the opportunity to be mentored by an amazing teacher who shared a plethora of knowledge.

                                          In October 2014, I took my maternity leave, considering I was five months into my pregnancy with my daughter. She was born on the Spring Equinox, which I hope she will enjoy as she ages through life. I decided to take a year off to stay close to her, as she is my first child. It was a year of introducing her to the nature as often as possible. Now, she loves to help water plants. She sits and observes as I work in the gardens at home and occasionally, she helps if it is fitting. She is my Rhea Sunshine (Ray of Sunshine).

... Do what you love

  With Rhea only a year old, I went to work with a smaller firm which allowed me to get back to doing what I love while still having time to raise my daughter. It was in March 2016 that I met Megan Meyer, a wonderful woman who ended up changing my life in many ways. She gave me the great opportunity of working with her and sharing her knowledge with me. She has accomplished so much in her life and has decided to take some well- deserved time for herself, which has brought me to the next chapter of my life, Beautiful Botanicals. My hope is to create and maintain the gardens that my clients have dreamed of. I want to work with you towards the oasis you deserve and make your experience as pleasant as possible.
