True Native Gardening helps Portland homeowners reclaim and maintain their gardens. I focus on aesthetic pruning, smart edits, and clean, seasonal refreshes. I identify invasives, blend native and climate-adapted plants, and shape spaces so you can enjoy your garden with manageable upkeep.

Using the right timing & techniques to help shape shrubs for optimum health & beauty

From weeds to wonder. Creating gorgeous gardens from chaos or maintaining your garden’s beauty. Design, planning, plant purchasing, installation, mulching, weeding, light grading, rock placement, and more!

Artful, seasonally updated containers that blend texture, color harmony, and height for a polished, cohesive look.

Remove & replace what’s not working with native & climate adapted perennials & annuals using keen design principles.
I’m Sasha, a UC Davis–trained Conservation Biologist who’s come full circle back to my first love: hands-on gardening. I create and maintain beautiful, ecologically sound home landscapes that support native wildlife, produce fresh edibles, and flourish in our local climate.
With a background in ecology & habitat restoration, a green thumb, and an eye for design & beauty, I come prepared to help you create the garden of your dreams.

“Everything looks super. The garden finally has breathing room. Sasha’s pruning was thoughtful and precise, and we’re already planning a little more thinning on the lower branches. I was so impressed I asked to share her info with my sister, since I was raving about the results.”

“So much better! I can finally just sit and enjoy the garden. The Pieris looks incredible. I love how you pruned it to make it look natural and not box-shaped like my husband has been doing it.”
