April Simmons: The Artist Behind the Landscapes
April Simmons, the owner and artist behind Grassroots Landscape Inc, has been creating Living Art through her landscapes since 1986. Passion, color, texture, shape, space and definition, integration and separation…These are all integral aspects of Grassroots Landscape Inc.
Her goal is to create an environmentally 
responsible garden design without compromising beauty, color or diversity. We love the “WOW” factor. Sometimes that wow factor comes from the dew drop on the tiniest flower. Other times it’s a perennial bed in springtime filled to the brim with color. Each garden we design is an original piece of Living Landscape Art that is designed from the “wish list “ of our clients.
Grassroots Landscape's garden displays are never stagnant. As in nature, the garden should continually change, evolve, and dance with the seasons. Our lives are not static and our gardens are merely one more reflection of that dynamism. April’s designs place an emphasis on flowing lines and curves, capturing small spotlights of space within a space within a space. Her design philosophy: “I believe that gardens no matter how big or small, should have spaces for reflection and spaces for excitement and passion.”
When April is not busy landscaping she can be found with her loyal dog, Dulce, hiking in the beautiful Colorado mountains, traveling around the world visiting other gardens and cultures or indulging her second passion in life…..photography.
