Who We Are
Callae Gedrose - Founder & Designer
As a professional and certified Regenerative Gardener, certified Soil Advocate, and certified Master Composter, I believe healthy gardens and landscapes begin with rebuilding the soil using mostly native plant species. Supporting ecosystem biodiversity and protecting pollinators, without using chemical pesticides or fertilizers, is the foundation of my practice. The quality and vitality of our landscape is a direct reflection of healthy soil and intentional care.
My journey in gardening began more than twenty years ago with my own garden. Over the years I’ve refined my gardening and design experience to evolve with a changing ecological awareness. As a lifelong Coloradan, I have a keen understanding of our unique environment. My priority is protecting our precious ecosystems from the ground up one garden at a time. Inviting resiliency into our urban and suburban landscapes is essential to balancing our expanding land development and resource losses. I’m passionate about helping clients discover the beauty and importance of regenerative gardening practices while working with holistic concepts to create their vision of a space they want to be in and grow in.
Education is an important component of what I do. Teaching regenerative gardening classes to local community organizations, supporting local environmental conferences and symposiums, and hosting regenerative habitat garden tours are integral pieces of my business. Honeywood proudly donates a portion of our proceeds to non profit organizations promoting native plants, pollinators, and land restoration.
This is why I founded Honeywood Garden Design. Regenerative practices are the foundation to creating a thriving outdoor space you can enjoy for years to come. My goal is to work together with you creating new and beautiful design perspectives while implementing sound gardening principles.

Dawn Jaitrong - Installer & Garden Management
Dawn discovered her passion for gardening in 2021 while interning with Blossom & Branch Farm, where she developed a deep appreciation for getting her hands dirty in the soil and nurturing the gardens. Since then, she has grown into a dedicated regenerative gardener known for her proactive communication, precision, and keen attention to detail.
Dawn holds a Rocky Mountain Gardening Certificate from the Denver Botanic Gardens. Outside of the garden, she enjoys walking, hiking, photography, and reading.
Preston Enright - Installer
Preston became interested in ecological landscaping after hearing an interview with Doug Tallamy on his book, Nature’s Best Hope. That interest was applied when he replaced hundreds of square feet of turf grass with water-wise and pollinator-friendly plants, shrubs, and trees. The joy of seeing butterflies and hummingbirds visit his Capitol Hill property led to volunteering with environmental non-profits and learning about the vital work of organizations like People & Pollinators Action Network.
Preston has a Rocky Mountain Gardening Certificate from the Denver Botanic Gardens, is a Community Forester with The Park People, and a volunteer with Wildlands Restoration Volunteers. When he's not digging around in the dirt, he's often riding his bike and dropping off environmental books in Little Free Libraries.
