Garden Design

“take time to find out the nature of the place, its quirks of wind and weather, its well tried ways, since each spot differs in what it bears or rejects”    

The Georgics of Virgil - 29 B.C.

As well as my Garden Art, I design gardens and environments for clients and friends.

My philosophy is to marry site and its surrounding land to the house design and structure. As well as keeping me marginally sane, I understand gardening to be an extension of my art making.

The Cheyne Residence - Woodstock, CT

On a nine and a half acre woodland sit with a lake and river running through it, I helped place the Frank Lloyd Wright inspired house in the landscape and designed the gardens and pathways. The design was inspired in part by Japanese gardens

The Menin Residence - New York City

Although the initial design was already in place, I helped Geoffrey and Sophie Menin re-calibrate the space using espaliered trees and herb inspired plantings
