Who we are

Meet our team of experienced professionals

Kristin Wiegand Rust

Owner/Designer

Kristin began the organic landscaping business with a passion for protecting the environment. Her love for nature, married with her 30+ years of landscaping experience, give her the unique ability to walk into any yard setting and have a vision.Having lived for decades in Bloomington, she understands the challenges that our community faces with deer populations and our changing climate conditions. Kristin is happy to come walk your yard and listen closely to your needs and work with you to develop a plan for a landscape that fits your current lifestyle.

Shawn Wiegand

Shawn is the crew manager and a passionate naturalist.  Trees and hardscaping are his specialties. He is a Master Gardener and Certified Organic gardener.  When not in a garden, he is outside hiking. Desk jobs or sitting in a cubicle are not for Shawn.  He is a great collaborator and will listen attentively to any concerns or ideas you might have. New Leaf is lucky to have such a talented landscape specialist. He makes things happen!

Jessica Wilson

Jessica looks forward to digging into every year with New Leaf Landscape Consulting. Her deep-rooted love for organic gardening and holistic, healthy living keeps her connected to nature. She is a proud INPAWS and INLA member, Master Gardener, and hopes to soon add on, herbal specialist. It is hard to have a bad day when growing beautiful flowers or giving new life by planting a tree. 
Bring on the peace, hand her a shovel, lets get planting!
