Linda Rice is the owner and designer at Native Bloom Landscaping. Twenty-seven years of gardening in Santa Fe has given her a vast and practiced knowledge of what works best in the high desert of northern New Mexico.
Linda earned a Bachelor's degree in Fine Art with a minor focus in Cultural Anthropology from Kenyon College. This educational investigation has given her an artist's understanding of color, composition, light, line, and sculptural detail, along with sensitivity to how our immediate environment affects and informs our daily life. She remains committed to her education and attends yearly workshops. She is certified in permacultural design from Ecoversity.
Native Bloom was born of Linda's passion for gardening in the southwest. She has a beautiful and talented daughter named Grace, a horse named Lucky, and two dogs named Shine and Arrow (but no more chickens…). She plays mandolin and guitar in her spare time, and takes the winters to ski, travel, and hibernate.
