About Janet
Janet Enright Garden Design Inc, established in 2005, is a residential garden design/management firm based in San Jose, serving clients from San Jose to Hillsborough. What began primarily as a design practice has evolved to include garden management for a select clientele. Building a long term relationship with clients and their gardens, Janet assesses the needs of each space, and creates a plan unique to the garden that manages all the elements that help a garden thrive. She works with a cadre of licensed contractors and skilled crafts people to implement designs and will work with existing maintenance crews or bring in a maintenance team.
Her practice is guided by the desire to create climate appropriate, sustainable garden spaces that delight her clients. She is often called in to make sense of spaces that no longer work. Janet thrives on creating elegant solutions for gardens that are functional and support nature.
A native Californian, Janet grew up in the Bay Area roaming the hills of Walnut Creek, Los Gatos, and the Santa Cruz Mountains. As the child of a forester and an artist, she was steeped in the wonders of nature and the creative process. Her initial career in education honed her organization and management skills. She then kicked off her garden education with a month long seminar with renowned British designer John Brookes in the south of France. She studied horticulture and design at UC Berkeley Landscape Architecture Extension program, Foothill and Merritt Colleges. Janet is a Past President of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers at both the state and regional level. She is a QWEL/EPA WaterSense certified professional.
