I’m Jess Karpa, a gardener and ecologist with over seven years of experience in land management and ecological stewardship. My work is rooted in supporting healthy, resilient landscapes that benefit both people and the natural world.

I hold a B.S. in Wildlife Ecology and am a Certified Colorado Gardener, with focused experience in native horticulture and organic gardening practices. I’ve also had the opportunity to work at Longwood Gardens, where I gained hands-on experience in high-level horticulture and garden care.

Through Wild Earth Gardening, I offer thoughtful, detail-oriented maintenance that prioritizes soil health, native plants, and pollinator-friendly practices. I believe gardens can be more than just beautiful spaces—they can be living systems that support biodiversity, provide habitat, and reconnect us to the rhythms of the natural world.
