About Us
Having possessed a long standing passion for gardening, I spent years creating my own dream garden, which often drew attention from neighbors and passerbys. One day, a neighbor asked me to help make her garden just as beautiful as my own, and the Garden Fairy was born.
I strive for each client I work with to feel as though they are working with a trusted friend who wants to help them bring their vision to life, and maintain regular communication you every step of the way, from the initial design through install and beyond.
I am reliable, detail oriented, creative and always working to connect with the customers wishes, while advising from my own knowledge of what will achieve the most visually appealing enhancement to your home or business.
I take great pride in collaborating with clients on designing and creating a beautiful outdoor setting that transforms their home or business and exceeds their expectations. I get so much joy out of my own outdoor space, and it is so fulfilling for me to bring the same joy and happiness to my clients through the gardens I create, which are often spaces for their neighbors, friends, and customers to enjoy as well.
In addition to private home owners, I have worked with commercial accounts, restaurants, multi unit residential spaces, as well as assisted realtors to enhance properties for sale.
The Garden Fairy team is made up myself, as well as a team that provides maintenance, hardscaping and lighting, who are licensed professionals passionate about their work.

Testimonials
“A client referred Cory Johnson to me to help with a makeover of my garden years ago after I saw the transformation of her home in 2015. Since then, I have had the pleasure of working with “my Garden Fairy” on my personal residence and multiple client homes – getting them ready for sale or simply a garden remodel once they move in – creating an exceptional landscape transformation. Cory’s keen eye for design and deep understanding of natural elements allows her to create a landscape that perfectly complements the style of the home. From the initial consultation to the final installation, she demonstrates professionalism, creativity, and a genuine passion for her craft. She carefully listens to my ideas, preferences and budget constraints, depending on the project and incorporates them into a comprehensive design that always exceeds my expectations. Cory is about collaboration and turning ideas into stunning, one-of-a-kind landscape with harmonious blend of lush greenery, striking hardscape features if needed, irrigation, and thoughtfully placed focal points that truly elevate the aesthetic and functionality of the outdoor space. She stays in touch and makes sure you are giving your garden the attention and love it needs to stay alive and beautiful! I highly recommend Cory and her team to help you transform your outdoor living spaces. “
– Danielle Wilson, Realtor – Compass
“We couldn’t be happier with the transformation Cory brought to our yard. Working with Cory was an absolute delight. She was incredibly creative, communicative, and organized, taking the reins of the entire project and guiding us every step of the way.
Our front and backyards were awkwardly shaped and we had no idea how to make them functional. Cory turned them into beautiful, practical outdoor spaces that exceeded our expectations. She perfectly balanced our desire for a low-maintenance garden with our dream of having an array of wonderful fruit trees. Now, our two little kids have so much space to play and spend hours outdoors each week, and we can host parties for all our friends.
Cory’s team was friendly, trustworthy, and did a fantastic job. The quality of their work was exceptional. We wholeheartedly recommend Cory to anyone looking to transform their outdoor space. Thank you, Cory, for making our dream yard a reality!”
– Brittany Clapp
“Cory designed my yard for me 5 years ago and it keeps getting more and more beautiful! It’s peaceful and it’s so pretty, my family loves our yard! I’d also like to add that Cory’s horticultural knowledge is vast. She has cultivated a professional team that is very detail oriented and great to work with.”
