About Down2Earth

I started out just like you – with a landscape full of challenges.

Joanne Shaw, Landscape DesignBut as I worked through them, I realized I had a passion for gardening and for helping others.

Hi, I’m Joanne Shaw, owner of Down2Earth Landscapes Inc.

Since graduating from Ryerson University with a certificate in Landscape Design, I have spent the past 15 years designing gardens in Durham Region, plus a decade in landscape and related businesses, both for my own clientele and with established local nurseries.

I am passionate about creating landscapes and outdoor living spaces for real people with busy lives. At Down2Earth Landscape Design, I focus on helping you use plants to design a beautiful outdoor space, one that reflects your personality and helps create maximum curb appeal to increase the value of your home. beautiful, functional space you can enjoy for years to come.

Join me for my weekly podcast and radio show, Down the Garden Path.

Joanne was a warm and incredibly intuitive professional who listened to our dreams of a garden space, and then delivered so very much more. She visited in the coldest part of the winter and throughout the design, planning and ultimately planting phases she was truly in tune with us and our property.
