Picture
Lisa Jacobson is the founder and owner of Now to Wow LLC.
​Now to Wow focuses on enhancing homes inside and out. 
​
Family:
Married to Timothy Jacobson, have 3 adult children and 2 grandchildren.

Career:
Landscaper for 15 years. My biggest project was a 125’ by 12’ hillside filled with beautiful plants, shrubbery and landscape accents. Kindergarten teacher for 30 years. I have taught over 600 children and led the building project of developing 3 playgrounds; including designing, fundraising and organizing a team of volunteers.

Passion:
Educating children and adults to be life-long learners who give back to their communities.

Hobbies:
Pottery, kayaking, biking, golf, ukulele, reading, upcycling, and hiking.

Friendship:
Lily and I met when she started teaching at Boscobel Elementary School. We became fast work friends and even closer friends outside of school. We share many interests and love helping others. We decided to volunteer at Habitat, we’re enjoying spending time together while giving back in our community. Watch our DIY videos….and you will see :)

Funny Story:
I helped friends with their landscape free of charge for over 10 years before starting my own business. I was training for a half marathon and passed a neighbors house and she asked if I happened to know anything about bushes. I told her I’d come chat after my run. After a free consultation, they asked if I was for hire and I decided to go for it!

Fun Fact:
I appear in the highly awarded science documentary Decoding the Driftless, which my husband co-produced.

Dream:
Help people realize their dreams and visions for their home, inside and out.

Social Media: Now-to-Wow.com and Facebook coming soon! My company, Now-to-Wow LLC serves southeastern Minnesota, La Crosse, Wisconsin and the surrounding areas.
