Hello From our founders
Greetings! We are Joel and Anna Cronnenwett, the husband-and-wife team behind A2 Garden Guides. During our first date - a walk in Ann Arbor's outdoor space known as "The Diag" - we discovered a shared love for plants and the natural world, and the rest is history.
Whether you are looking for guidance with your existing garden or a total landscape makeover, we'd love to brighten your days by bringing the beauty of nature to your space or home in an ecologically sustainable way. Contact us today for a consultation.

We love removing invasive plants! Joel’s knowledge of native plants means we can provide native alternatives while keeping the aesthetic of your garden.

To explore your options, you are invited to visit our home nursery to peruse our indoor and outdoor plants available for rent or purchase (by appointment only).
