ABOUT
At Terra Nostra Gardens, we believe that you and your garden are a small and beautiful part of a larger ecosystem. Fascinated with the relationships and connections that form both below and above the soil, founder Itzia Paz takes a holistic approach when planning, designing or maintaining your precious piece of nature.
To maintain the balanced and rich attention that Terra Nostra is known for, Itzia has built her knowledge of the land and its connections quite literally from the roots to the treetops. Earning her first accolades with a B.A. in Biology, she focussed her research on the relationships between roots and fungi, (mycorrhizal symbiotic relationships) and later added to that an Organic Master Gardener Certificate.
As a certified Arborist and possessing an Ecological Landscaping Design Certificate, Itzia loves providing coaching and advice on all aspects of your project. Truly happy working with people, Itzia is even more excited to work in homes where pets abound! Get in touch with Terra Nostra Gardens today so that we can build a greater understanding and appreciation between you and your garden.

TESTIMONIALS
Itzia is a gardening expert who has managed my yard for the last two years. Before she took over, a lot of the shrubs and bushes were overgrown and needed major trimming – now the yard is more balanced. This was also achieved by moving some of the plants to new locations. Numerous people have commented on how great the yard, front and back looks – most of this due to the excellent guidance and care provided by Itzia. Itzia is reliable, punctual and provides excellent service – her knowledge of trees, shrubs and plants is impressive. She makes great suggestions. I highly recommend her to you – suggest you hire her before she becomes over-subscribed and becomes too busy.

Terra Nostra Gardens and Itzia Paz have been looking after my garden for about a year. Itzia is an absolute joy. She is reliable, very knowledgeable about plants, trees, and shrubs and is energetic and strong. She has an excellent appreciation of design, works quickly and efficiently and is unafraid to tackle some aspects of my garden that have been ignored and allowed to become overgrown. I have enjoyed our association and found her always cheerful and bright.
