About Beth

Beth O'Donnell Young received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of California at Berkeley in 1983 (that makes her how many years old?). While in college, she worked at a retail nursery and interned at Filoli, an historic estate near San Francisco.

After graduating from college she drafted, assisted, and eventually managed a variety of residential projects, working at Callander Associates and Peter Wright Shaw Associates in the Bay Area, and later as a freelance designer.

"I enjoy presenting my clients with creative solutions that they had not thought of themselves. That’s a fun part of my job."

Beth moved to Oregon in 1988. For ten years she was a full-time mom and an active community volunteer. She began Beth Young Garden Design in 1998, receiving her first check on April 23. What started as a part-time, at-home job for Beth has blossomed into a thriving business.

To maintain her privacy and that of her clients, Beth's resume and references are presented to prospective clients only.
