Karena Gardens is owned and operated by Karena Valentine. Karena has been gardening throughout America’s Garden Capital for over 17 years. Her love of plants started as a small child growing up in the rural northern woods of New Hampshire where she spent the majority of her time outdoors climbing mountains and playing in her mother’s gardens. Flowers, medicinal plants, and sustainable practices are among her specialties.
Before starting her own gardening business, Karena spent a combined 25 years as a designer of theatrical costumes, architecture, events and florals, and is a master of composition, texture, detail, and color. She brings her knowledge of design with foundations in the built environment and experiential art alongside her love of plants to cultivate gardens that inspire joy, wonder, and connection for all - human, winged, and furry friends alike.
