Kirsten West
Fine Gardner
Kirsten can be found in LaBarge Homes’ Property Care division and oversees all of the fine gardening, plant and flower health and maintenance, and flower bed planning and design for our clients. A native of Denmark, Kirsten grew up on a dairy farm. Her love of the outdoors came from her mother’s large vegetable garden, fruit orchards and her families’ commercial green houses and nurseries. Kirsten and her late husband Roly would often take their three children on nature walks to explore the Cape Cod flora. In her spare time Kirsten enjoys teaching Scandinavian Knitting for Beginners at The Cultural Center of Cape Cod and designing knitting patterns. She also enjoys drawing botanicals, a skill she furthered through evening classes at Rhode Island School of Design. Kirsten is member of the Heritage Museum and Gardens where she furthers her knowledge of plants and flowers through ongoing classes and seminars.
