Meet the Instructor
Adria Sparhawk has lived a life immersed in the natural world with a career in garden design being an instinctive path. Born and raised in the Pacific NW, she was blessed with opportunities to master gardening as well as exploring many of the wild places of our region, learning the subtleties of our climate, diversity of plants and bioregions along the way.
A long career in floral design began in 1996. Her floral event boutique spearheaded the slow flower movement, demanding a shift in the industry toward farming practices that safeguard the environment and the health of workers. Her work was featured in books, magazines and industry publications nationally.
In 2011, she founded Thicket, a garden shop, serving the Alberta Arts District in Portland, OR and specializing in unique landscape plants suited to our summer dry climate. Today the new owners continue to honor Adria’s vision with a commitment to sourcing climate adapted plants from ethical growers.
She now operates Sparkhawk Garden Design, creating sustainable landscapes inspired by the beauty of the natural world. Years of experience translating the vision of clients into a deliverable product has honed her ability to listen. Each landscape she creates is the product of a focused exploration of the clients vision, our value comes in translating those feelings and ideas into landscapes that thrive.
Visiting us for an event? Enjoy the farmhouse or glamping tent to get the full experience.
