At Fern Home & Garden, our mission is to create beautiful, functional, and thriving gardens and landscapes that enhance the lives of our clients and benefit the local ecosystem. We believe that everyone deserves to have a healthy green space to enjoy throughout the seasons and for years to come.
Fern Home & Garden offers a wide variety of sustainable gardening and landscaping services, including design and installation of native perennial gardens, heirloom vegetable gardens, and permaculture gardens, as well as creating wildlife habitats, natural garden pest control, compost bin and raised garden bed construction, and soil testing and amending.
Fern Home & Garden was born out of Jill Norris's love and respect for the natural world and keeping it alive and well. After graduating from GVSU in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a Botany emphasis, Jill trained under and worked with a master gardener in the Grand Rapids area. She hasn't stopped gardening and landscaping since! Jill's enthusiasm for sustainable landscapes is genuine and palpable, presenting itself in the thriving ecosystems she creates and nurtures.
