Life began for Brooke in North Georgia, growing up on a farm in the Mountain Cove area. A devoted granddaughter and daughter, Brooke spent many hours in gardens planting and cultivating vegetable crops. Her parents still live on a working farm today.

This time spent in the field developed Brooke’s love for the outdoors, which was inherited from her maternal grandfather.

Brooke’s outdoor attitude was also demonstrated in her high school years as she participated in such activities as basketball, track and softball. Her basketball abilities landed her a college scholarship where, after a summer traveling out west, she decided to study horticulture.

Drawing on the creativity from her grandparents and her father, Brooke decided early that she enjoyed and had a flare for gardening, even more so, for garden design. Thus began her path to become a premiere landscape designer.

An avid trout fisher, Brooke loves to hike, camp, and fish in our national forests, which also enhances her appreciation for the indigenous plants in the southeast.

While completing her degree at Auburn University, Brooke was an active philanthropist for the local community, donating several landscape designs to churches and schools.

Upon completion of her degree, she took a position at Windwood Gardens where she was the Lead Designer and Installation Foreman. Brooke also taught Horticulture at Ringgold High School in Ringold, GA.

In November of 2002, Brooke’s dream bore fruit in the creation of her landscape design company, EARTH DESIGNS INC.
