About MaryGold Designs

MaryGold Designs is owned and operated by Sky Leuba. He grew up in a fourth generation farming family. His father was a pioneering organic corn and soybean farmer and his mother a homemaker and master flower gardener. The name MaryGold is in honour of his grandmother Mary and the popular flower, Marigold. Mary grew up on a farm in Idaho and in fact learned to speed read so she could get a book finished as fast as possible before more chores. Sky’s experience comes from being raised around plants, be it in the vegetable patch pushing bush bean seeds knuckle deep into fresh tilled soil or helping his mother mulch the lilacs, rhododendrons, and hostas. From 2014-2016, Sky and his father had a business, MaryGold Organics, selling organic garlic wholesale. Since 2019 Sky transitioned to professional gardening full time and he thoroughly enjoys it in all parts, especially purchasing plants and creating or amending existing gardens. He looks forward to working with you on your next project and helping to create a beautiful and relaxing place for you and your family.

Four Gardens

There is a garden where
Scented waters
Give a timeless gracious greeting.

There is a garden where
Roses climb and petals fall
Your virgin feet
Step upon
The velvet hall.

There is a garden where
Fiery sanguine sun
Makes shading palm
A dearest friend.

There is a garden where
Laughter of children
Dances into the heart.

There is a garden where
The sun dips and you circle
The four paradises
Taste milk, honey, wine, water,
And want for nothing more.
