Professional Native Landscape Design
About Rockbird Gardens
Rockbird Gardens is a small landscape design firm founded on the belief that a single garden can contribute not only to the beauty of the neighborhood, but also to the health of our native pollinators, birds and other wildlife.
Robin McKenzie, owner of Rockbird Gardens, holds a BFA from University of Colorado and earned her Master Gardener certification in the Rogue Valley. She considers garden design one of the fine arts, with living plants for paint and the garden as her canvas. She is also passionate about preserving our Monarch butterfly populations and her presentations on designing, building and maintaining butterfly and pollinator gardens are very popular. Her personal garden in Talent, Oregon is a certified Monarch Butterfly Waystation.
Rockbird Gardens combines Robin's artistic sense with her in-depth knowledge of the practical aspects of landscaping in the challenging ecosystem that is the Rogue Valley. Robin appears often as an expert on "In the Garden" a popular segment on KDVR TV Channel 12, in Medford, Oregon. She is a regular volunteer at the Oregon State University plant clinic at the Ashland Growers' Market and volunteers with the Rogue Valley Pollinator Project.
