Hello Garden & Outdoor Living Friends!

My name is Holly Stickley of The White Pear.  I live in the beautiful northwest, Portland Oregon.  I am a gardener, designer, photographer, wife, and mother of our two adorable doggies, Vivienne and Chesterfield, and our kitty Gwendolyn.   My passion is to inspire people to make their gardens and outdoor living spaces more beautiful, functional and healthy by connecting them to resources, inspiration and community online.  I believe that a beautiful, serene outdoor living space is the foundation for happiness and success, and the best daily rejuvenator for our fast-paced lives.  And, I don't believe that it takes a lot of money to do this, but it does takes inspiration, resources, and the gumption to do it.  

Please subscribe to my 'Holly Blog' and I'll share with you all that I know and learn from garden to dining al fresco and I'll treat you to a complimentary half hour phone consultation.  Email me photos and we'll talk 'garden' ..:) 

Thank you and always love hearing from you!  Love, Your White Pear Garden Guru ~ Holly

"Holly is extremely easy to work with.  She listens to your input and is not afraid to tap into her extensive knowledge of plant material to make excellent suggestions.  For us, Holly was able to create a sophisticated but relaxed backyard environment.  Best of all, Holly makes the whole experience fun."  ~ Max & Ron

"I love the garden beds!  Holly is not just a landscape designer, she is an artist that is passionate about her craft and has created beautiful paintings in my garden.  Thank you!"   ~ Pam G

“I can’t thank you enough for transferring our hot, dry, and lifeless yard into a lush garden haven.  You are wonderfully talented and passionate about plants, design, and beauty – You have that special eye.”  ~ Leilani & Brian

"Holly, thanks to you & your White Pear team for a great design, great service & great implementation."  ~ MR

 “We approached designer, Holly Stickley of The White Pear for a quick yard makeover before putting our house on the market.  Holly and her crew did a wonderful job, bringing curb appeal and maximizing the small space in the front of our house.  We love the plants selected and the placement of the slate stones throughout. They were also able to meet our quick turnaround needs and deliver beautiful results.  We just wish we had this done this several years ago so we could have enjoyed a beautiful front garden!”
