Favorite way to enjoy my outdoor space: I love gardening with my mom. I have been working in the yard with her and my dad since I can remember. From planting the vegetable garden every year to helping her plant her annual pots. When Spring time comes I love seeing all the plants start growing and popping!
I also love to get outdoors with my dog, whether it is going to the park to throw the ball, hiking in nature or just sitting in the grass in the front yard! She is my world and if she is happy I am happy!
Favorite thing about the green industry: What I love most about working in the green industry is that everyone is in it for the same reasons. We all want to make a difference and create beauty in the landscape. I love how just the right plants in the right place can make all the difference in landscaping! In addition, I love how the green industry was dominated by males at one point…but I feel that the females are starting to make strides!
Favorite Plant: Calla Lily
Hobbies: hiking with my dog, concerts, camping, traveling
Ashley was born and raised in Colorado and grew up playing soccer, softball, and planting flowers. Her love for the outdoors led her to enjoy the tasks that many children avoid…like mowing the lawn. She credits her love for landscaping to her parents. While in high school Ashley began drafting in AutoCAD and decided to further her love for both plants and drafting by earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Landscape Architecture at Colorado State University in Fort Collins.
After graduation, she began work at a local nursery to expand her knowledge and love of plants. In January of 2015, Ashley started work within Timberline’s snow removal and maintenance departments. This experience in the field has enabled her a greater understanding of the processes involved in the care and installation of landscapes. She has completed her Landscape Industry Certified Technician designation in ornamental maintenance and softscape installation. Ashley is an award winner for the design and installation on The Broadmoor Estate House.
