Brandy Williams founded Garden Butterfly in 2015 with a mission to create 
eco-friendly gardens and habitats for local pollinators on a smaller scale. Her work involves using an assortment of botanically diverse succulents, California native plants, and drought-tolerant mosaics that are ideal for residential landscapes with limited space. With horticultural expertise and an artist's eye, Brandy designs and installs permanent gardens, custom succulent installations, and educational

Pollinator Garden Pop-up displays.

 

Along with her garden creations, Brandy is a garden educator who conducts inspirational workshops and lectures to show how beautiful design can inspire the public and transform the gardens of Los Angeles to support pollinators. Her work has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, KCRW, KTLA, Dwell Magazine, and the Theodore Payne Foundation Native Plant Garden Tour.
