“Debra & I collaborated on the design of a beautiful kitchen featuring bamboo cabinetry. We provided the cabinetry for a remodel integrating a variety of green materials selected by Debra, including her own artistry of tile & earthen plaster. It was wonderful to work with another design professional who makes sustainability a design priority.”

Rivergal, 3 Rivers Brewing, Colleague

“Debra, founder and creative heart of Deeper Green has been doing her amazing work for many years. Her level of experience itself, puts her in a league of her own — far ahead of the others who’ve come along to this business and environmental philosophy only recently. She can transform a personal or professional space to its full, vibrant, living potential. I have worked with Debra in the Washington, DC days of her long, and energetic career, and am proud to have seen the amazing end result of that hard work, and know that it still flourishes today. You would be lucky to have her create for you!”

David Kitts, Health Advocate

“Debra is professional, knows her plants and pro plant care and what works well in your store. She’s also a lot of fun, a pleasure to interact with and a fountain of all sorts of information and connections!”

Adam, Owner, Avalon RV

“I had an excellent experience working with Debra. We collaboratively designed, built & artfully decorated a 1967 Airstream Overlander trailer. It was in pretty rough shape, but their was a great vision of what it could become with a lot of work and planning. We gutted the trailer interior so we could start over on both the inside and outside. The exterior was polished to a mirror shine and then paint accents were added to showcase the trim & details. The interior received repairs, a few coats of new paint and then we got busy with the new floor plan. Debra wanted to bring the outside in and it was accomplished with an Aluminum Clad polished round top bathroom door. It has an Aluminum opaque port hole in the door. The upper cabinets have aluminum wrapped trim with Acrylic glass. Natural Birch cabinets were built with radius corners & faces. Marmoleum was carefully selected for the floor & the countertops. Lighting was custom made to tie in the details. Many stylish & unique details were selected throughout the Airstream providing an Artists touch and creating the Aha’s as you enter the trailer. The final touches were Debra’s own art. Nearly every knob was a different color and style but coming from a similar design. The colors & details vary and this brings out more of the art & beauty. Then the refrigerator received an artwork inset panel and the front upper cabinet had a custom Decoupage frame applied to the surface. It is made from countless photos and clippings from her travels. The window curtains were made from special material she selected while on another adventure. She brought many creative ideas to this project. We were encouraged to push our limits, increase our skills & adapt to fun new ideas. Debra has a great vision bringing many differing styles & details together to stylishly fit and look as one piece of art. I saw more of Debra’s work at her home & studio. She has great talent and an eye for the details. I highly recommend her skills & services.”

Charlotte, The Vow Keeper

“I was extremely impressed with Debra’s talents and skills as a designer. What she created for a Native American wedding was truly magnificent as she transformed a beautiful vintage barn into a five star venue with charm, warmth, and country character. Debra designed, created, and implemented all of the fabulous décor. It is a privilege to have encountered such a wonderfully talented, kind-hearted and generous individual. If you have the opportunity to hire Debra and Deeper Green for your store designer, you will be overjoyed with the end results and your customers will remember and treasure the memories that she created for your space. Debra is Five Stars all the way!!!!”

Theresa T. Tamley Architectural Design

“Debra has an amazing talent in creating uniquely designed indoor spaces, using plants, mosaics and artwork. She has a great attention to detail and an ability to combine a variety of materials to create beauty in the unexpected.”

Jarrell S. Good Earth Natural Foods

“Not only are Deeper Green’s pots the most beautiful pieces of artwork I’ve seen in my life, these are the healthiest indoor plants that I’ve ever seen.”

Gail E. Collegue

“I have personally known Debra Amerson since 1987 and have always marveled at her creativity, knowledge, business sense, and savvy. Our first of many collaborations, was a business trip to Hana, Maui, to Helani Gardens, a 70 acre tropical nursery, growing rare and exotic species of plants. Debra’s mission was to study golden bamboo for its adaptability and potential growth indoors, under the tutelage of world renowned botanist, Howard Cooper.

Since then, I have had the opportunity to work alongside this plant and designer genius a number of times, helping with interior plantscapes and art installations at numerous Whole Foods Markets in the Bay Area. If you’re looking for someone to design / decorate and deliver an outstanding and most likely a one of a kind masterpiece, then Debra is the person for you. Innovative, productive, progressive, and thoughtful throughout the entire process of each project, Debra will fulfill your dream design with professional attention to detail. And if you give her the reins with an idea of the direction you want to go, she will exceed your expectations exquisitely. Debra is destined to be a leader in her field, always learning and expanding her multifaceted talents in every way possible. While working with Debra, you will be delighted with her professionalism, while “tickled green” with her sense of humor. She is a Wonder Woman in her many fields of Deeper Green Living.”

Richard S, Contractor

“I found Debra to be very creative and super innovative in use of green materials. Her “out of the box” thinking produced timely, efficient, and cost effective solutions. Her good nature helped maintain a friendly and beneficial work environment. Her ability to work with my culturally diverse crew produced harmonious results.”

Cillajoy, Collegue

“Deeper Green, in a friendly and personable way, assessed my needs for my project (bringing my interior style outdoors for a unified look). They suggested changes – from color choice, fabric, furniture, and interior accessories – that were all doable either with what I already had or easily within my budget. What is unique to them is the level of artistry – creative touches in addition to plants, such as custom mosaics, faux painting, wood and metal work. They have extensive resources to fabulous materials (granite, glass, stone, etc.) that would take forever to access on your own. Their selection of appropriate plants took that question off my shoulders which I greatly appreciated. Deeper Green covered cost and timeline so I knew what to expect in advance. Great on-site presence, accessibility and follow through. I highly recommend their services for any interior project.”

Noel F. Owner, Arti Indian Organic Cafe

“When Arti Organic Cafe opened in Lagunitas, Debra Amerson stopped by for lunch and thanked me for an excellent meal, then shared her concern for my café’s survival, since several businesses in my location had come and gone in rural Lagunitas. Debra is a visual artist designer who runs Deeper Green. Debra wanted to ensure that a delicious organic Indian café would survive and she cared enough about my future business success to tell me the truth–that my café did not look-or feel “Arti” and quickly proposed a wonderful win-win solution. Debra explained that she had whole series of beautiful photo-montages in storage after a previous art exhibit closed called “Touched By India” inspired by her travels in India. To help us attract customers and create a one of a kind Indian atmosphere and to get exposure for her art, Debra offered to hang her art indefinitely and as pieces sold she’d make new pieces as replacements. I said ok, let’s do it. That afternoon, Debra arrived her art and some living plants in beautifully decorated pots. All I could say was wow! Inside, my wait staff, our cook, Debra and I hung the art on the walls. We were so surprised at the wonderful difference inside Arti Café because of Debra’s colorful artwork. And It worked. The San Geronimo Valley community and drive by visitors support us and love our food and the unique Arti atmosphere. highly recommend Debra Amerson’s business Deeper Green. Like our cook at Arti Café who blends Indian herbs and aromatic spices to create our signature dishes, Debra creatively blends her art and design gifts with green business knowledge to help businesses create unique environments that feel friendly, warm and alive. If you want to see her artwork, please do come and visit my locationarticafe.com.”

Carol Misseldine, Management Consultant

“Debra Amerson brings the eye of an artist to her work. I was delighted with the native plants she wove together to create beautiful, natural and aromatic displays for my event. Debra is intuitive and responsive to the needs of her clients, and by insisting on organic and native plants whenever possible, she promotes the health of her clients and the planet. I highly recommend Debra.”

Claudia L, Owner, Learning Conversations

“Debra brought the most amazing plants into our multimedia lab…I’d never lived with large plants in a work environment. She taught us how to care for these green beings that brought so much pleasure (and oxygen) into our indoor work lives. She is a green shaman with a concern for creating healthy and revitalizing indoor environments.”

Don S. Professional Photographer

“I required a tropical jungle for a fashion photograph I was putting together and trusted Debra to make or break a production that I spent months orchestrating. The time allotted for the shoot was very limited and Debra not only coordinated the location but also erected a lush and believable set that resulted in a very successful photograph that is presently published internationally.”

“I am in awe. I tripped over your web site and fell in love. I wish I lived locally to avail myself of your work / services.”

Barney B. Building Manager

“Debra’s knowledge and flair of what plants will flourish in a particular space seems to be unlimited. Our building has a rather unusual atrium area. The space inside the entrance to the building is surrounded by glass at several angles. Items planted in this space are cooled or warmed by the buildings HVAC system but, at the same time, exposed to contrasting blasts of air as doors open along with the constant buildup of solar heat. Where others have failed, Debra, planted this area with items which are exceptionally attractive and able to survive this strange environment. Debra has proven to be totally reliable and most personable and warm.”

Dr. Larry B. Dupont Circle Chiropractic

“Thank you for my beautiful plants. You have the healing touch. They are green. They are healthy. They are happy. You are truly a master plantician.”
