About Lucy Pearl Stafford (b. 1999) I am a gardener and artist based in Portland, Maine. I have been gardening and making art my whole life and have more than 8 years of professional experience. I graduated from College of the Atlantic in 2023 with a BA in Human Ecology and a concentration in Ecology and Studio Art. I am in love with plants, and forever inspired by the ways they take care of us. In my free time, I am usually foraging, making art, or laughing with friends.

Magpie Designs (est. 2024) is a one person Ecological Landscaping and Sculpture business based in Portland, Maine. Run by me, Lucy Pearl Stafford, a life long gardener and artist. I focus on native, medicinal, and edible plants to support climate/ community resiliency and to foster relationships between humans and plants. I also design ceramic garden sculptures as supplemental habitat for endangered pollinators. My rate is $50/ hr.
