Dana Osborn created Deva Inspired Gardening in the early 90’s in direct response to an ever-increasing need for a high-quality landscape business for the communities of Sonoma and Napa Counties, whose population and development had become one of the fastest growing in the United States.

She gets her inspiration from the Devas. Ancient myth describes Devas (pronounced Day-Vas) as the creative forces of nature - "architects" of sorts who give land its unique form and function. The name is ancient sanskrit meaning “The Shining One” or “Light”. Devas inspire us to see how a garden fits into a larger landscape surrounding it, be it a small back yard in a busy town to hundreds of acres in the enchanted hidden valleys, plains, foothills and wetlands of Sonoma and Napa Counties.

This suits Dana's philosophy for landscaping to include preservation of the botanical species native to the area, and the incorporation of the natural elements and resources of the land into her designs.

Her life long design career has included the creation of interiors and gardens in New York and France, traveling the seas and world, to finally settle in Sonoma in 1982 to raise her 2 daughters.
