Jen Foth Konyn

Gardener / Designer 

Hi, I'm Jen. I love gardening. And, I love making things beautiful. Whether it's a unique plant combination that adds drama and flare to a shady corner, or watching the bees buzz along collecting pollen from one native flower to the next - I can't marvel enough at the magnificence that is nature. 

​

I'm passionate about creating beautiful designs that add beauty and benefit people, pollinators, and wildlife. My garden designs blend structural shrubs, trees, and pollinator-friendly & native plants for ecological benefit.​​

​

Having a garden is one of the fastest routes to connection, delight, and joy for me. I started Wild Twin Gardens because I want more people like you to experience the joy and delight of being in or near the garden. I believe that gardens are healing spaces. They are places of wonder, offer respite from our hectic lives, and allow us to fully let our "wildness" out. I believe gardens help foster meaningful connection with each other and the natural world around us.  ​

​

I'm a Master Gardener and have taken Landscape Design courses through the University of MN Extension. I worked for two small local gardening organizations before starting Wild Twin Gardens. I serve on the board of the member Minnesota Horticultural Society.  I am committed to continuous learning, always inspired by nature's wisdom. In 2017, my partner Ray and I won the Blooming St. Paul Award for our volunteer gardening at the Summit Monument Garden site.
