Meet the Designers
Nicole Chernyakhovsky
Founder and Lead Designer
Nicole@Larkspurlandscapeco.com
For years, Nicole has been inspired by the beautiful and wild Colorado landscape. While in quarantine, she devoted time to the design of her own garden, and began to shape plans for a big career shift. She dreamed of combining her long-time passions for design, nature, plants, flowers, and trees with the dependability and relationship-building skills acquired from her business experience. Soon after, her garden drew the notice of her first clients, and not long after, Larkspur was born. With the growth of these clients (and of her garden), also grew the encouragement to instill this love and passion with whomever seeks more life and beauty for their environments.
