robyn Our Mission

Wild Iris Living's mission is to create a healthier, less stressful life for our clients by giving them peace of mind about their outdoor living spaces - the ornamental and edible landscape.

People are greatly affected by the environments they live and work in. Wild Iris Living’s landscape design and maintenance services strive to have you feeling great about your beautiful, well-cared for property, so that you, too, will be able to say "I love my landscape!"  You'll be pleasantly surprised at how this positively impacts the rest of your life.  When you feel good, you are able to do good works.  It's that simple.

We do our work with care of the Earth and all its inhabitants in mind. Green is a way of life for us, not a trendy marketing label.

Wild Iris Living also believes in giving back to the community through volunteering with a number of non-profits, such as the Alzheimer's Association and KRFC-fm, our community radio station.  You can also find us helping out the Gardens on Spring Creek with various events throughout the year.

Bio

Robyn Dolgin skillfully weaves her passion and backgrounds in horticulture, personal and environmental health, and the visual arts into the fabric of everyday conscious living. She provides landscape and edible garden consultations for residences and businesses, drawing on her love of artistic design and over 30 years of practical experience in the horticulture field. 

Before returning to private practice, she worked at the Gardens on Spring Creek, the City of Fort Collins' community-oriented botanic garden, successfully establishing many of the programs that are still popular with the public today.  Robyn has also worked at nurseries, plant shops and orchards, and teaches on a number of subjects related to gardening and health.    

She recently became certified as a Master Naturalist with the City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Department and is volunteering her time to help increase awareness and appreciation of nature and our natural spaces.  The information gained has been a big help to several clients who are foothills residents and deal with wildlife and challenging growing condition.

Robyn completed an intensive certificate course in Permaculture with well-known instructors Marisha Auerbach and Kelly Simmons and is currently working on a book on gardening.

A background in the Healing Arts, Feng Shui and Five Element Theory blend to bring the energies of balance and harmony to the spaces she works with.
