About Margaret Joplin
Margaret's extensive work in public art and urban, commercial and residential landscape architecture has built relationships that give her access to materials and unique products that most designers only dream of.
With those materials as her building blocks, Margaret creates many of Pure Beauty's home and garden accents, innovating as she goes to transform the ordinary into the unexpected.
Whether it's salvaged steel or delicate, hand-beaded flowers, self-designed fencing or artisan concrete pots, Margaret has an unsurpassed ability to recognize the raw ingredients for extraordinary creations and know an outstanding product when she finds it.
She brings that same passion and discerning eye to Pure Beauty's nursery and landscape services, using her horticultural knowledge to nurture plants in a way that makes them healthy and strong and allows their innate beauty to shine through.
