For over sixteen years, Breniss O’Neal has been beautifying Tulsa and surrounding area homes with her creative landscape design touch. Featured in many well-known magazines, Better Homes and Gardens, Martha Stewart Living, and local publications such as Tulsa People and Oklahoma Magazine, Breniss not only has the gift of creating an outdoor masterpiece, but also can instruct the gardening novice with her quick and easy how-to’s. The owner of O’Neal Landscape and Design, Breniss has hosted many garden tours at her gorgeous home in mid-town Tulsa.
With a regular weekly segment on the local ABC affiliate in Tulsa, Breniss has created a substantial fan base as “The Landscape Lady” on KTUL’s Good Day Tulsa over the past four years. She caught the eye of then Good Day Tulsa producer, Carol Collins and was the inspiration for Carol developing a 30 minute format program. This show would spotlight Breniss as the host to give viewers a glimpse inside her many other talents that just couldn’t fully be covered in a weekly 3 minute segment.
The two partnered and got busy with Home & Beyond, which encompasses not only gardening and landscaping, but also a wide range of topics including, home décor, cooking, health and beauty tips and much more.
Breniss brings to the screen many years in front of, and behind the camera. She worked as a Special Makeup Effects artist on several motion pictures and Made for Television movies.
Deeming herself as a diversified, down-and-dirty Diva, Breniss gets down to the nitty-gritty and does most of the work herself. She warms the hearts of her audience with her quick wit and easy to follow instructions. She gives viewers something they can take with them and apply to their everyday lifestyles.
An avid animal lover, Breniss contributes to several animal rescue organizations. She and husband Daniel love and spoil their rescued little Beagle, Carson. It’s a common site for Carson to be sporting a string of pearls when she greets visitors at the door.
One of Breniss’ past times when not working in the garden, is trekking around the Tulsa area in search of the most mouth watering milkshake. This quest is a simple and welcome indulgence to her usual healthy eating lifestyle.
Breniss is spunky spirited and doesn’t know a stranger. She is always ready to answer questions. After spending time with her, people leave with a sense of, “wow, I think I can actually do that myself.”
