About Us
We believe gardens are deeply connected to wellness.
With a strong focus on wellness and sustainability, our mission is to create garden spaces that are not only beautiful but also environmentally responsible and deeply restorative. Clover & Vine was born from a passion for nurturing the environment, embracing the holistic benefits of connecting with nature and empowering clients to become active stewards of their green spaces.
Our Approach
We believe gardens can change lives.
At the heart of our design approach is a simple truth: spending more time with nature improves wellbeing. A thoughtfully designed garden is more than a collection of plants—it’s a space for restoration, reflection, and connection. Our work is rooted in the idea that every garden should support your physical health and mental health while also supporting the native wildlife environment.
In working with our clients, we explore your intentions for wanting to reclaim your garden space, identify your broad goals and work with you to determine how a new garden can fit into your journey towards wellbeing.
This may include:
- having a garden to experience nature's colors, textures and smells
- creating a mini-sanctuary to de-stress from the day
- converting grass lawns to native plants attract local birds and pollinators
- getting your hands in the soil and growing your own vegetables
Our goal is to listen to your needs and create that unique garden that you will treasure.

Meet Trúc (she/her)
Hi! I’m Trúc, a garden designer with a background in healthcare and health promotion. For over 15 years, I helped individuals and communities improve their wellbeing through preventative care and education. Today, I bring that same purpose to garden design—creating outdoor and indoor spaces that are not only beautiful, but restorative, sustainable, and deeply intentional.
I’ve been a home gardener for over 20 years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, my own garden became a sanctuary—helping me stay grounded, grow food, and find calm in an uncertain time. That experience inspired me to pursue this work professionally and share the healing power of gardens with others.
As a certified horticulturist and California Native Plant Landscaper, I combine design, science, and care to create gardens that support both people and the native habitat. I’ve helped numerous homeowners who had no idea where to start—guiding them from a vague idea or blank yard to a thriving garden that reflects their lifestyle and values. Along the way, I love helping clients grow their confidence and knowledge about plants.
Whether you're dreaming of a native plant haven, a kitchen garden, or a peaceful indoor oasis, I’m here to help you build a space that supports your health, your environment, and your everyday joy.
Let’s grow something meaningful together.
