During her career she has served as a designer and project manager for several multimillion dollar companies and as an award-winning designer, she specializes in the creation of residential and public herbaceous gardens.

Pamela has taught perennial and plant maintenance classes at Illinois community colleges, served as secretary of the garden club in Lake Havasu City, Arizona and has been a designer and project manager in many community park planning and college campus projects.

Pamela’s varied and broad experience brings an invaluable edge to the team’s dynamics. 

Elaine Peoples received her Christian County Master Gardener’s certificate in 2000. Her lifelong interest in design and plants led her to LincolnLand Community College where she earned her Landscape Design Certificate in 2001. Her education continued when she became certified by the Illinois Nurserymen’s Association as an Illinois Certified Nurseryman for her knowledge of woodies and perennials.

She embarked on a successful tenure with a local landscape company where she was part of a team that earned a National Planet Environment Improvement Award for a project designed in 2005. She brings to our design team a keen interest and desire to exceed every client’s expectations. Her outstanding talent at drawing perspectives gives her a decided advantage in relaying visual concepts to clients.

Elaine is an avid supporter of Springfield Green through her designs. Elaine, Mark and Laurie were the team that designed and earned a Gold medal at the Chicago Flower and Garden Show in 2006 for the Illinois Nurseryman’s Association’s garden.
