We're a garden design and plant sourcing studio renown for creating stunning and enduring gardens. We combine our distinct artistic vision with extensive horticultural expertise to deliver breathtaking living experiences.

Who We Are

Led by John Greenlee, our close-knit team of horticultural professionals has been practicing sustainable ornamental design for over 35 years. Alongside our diverse network of esteemed collaborators, we've completed projects of all shapes and sizes. Some of our most notable gardens include the Getty Museum in Los Angeles and the savannas at Walt Disney's Animal Kingdom in Florida.

Design Services

Our comprehensive garden design consulting and sub-consulting services are tailored to meet the unique needs and challenges of each individual project. We believe that the best designs emerge through meaningful collaboration with our clients, who play a vital role in shaping the vision and direction of each project. From a detailed sight analysis to planting and instillation, we'll guide you through every step of the garden design process.

Plant Sourcing

With a keen eye for quality and a passion for botanical diversity, we specialize in procuring top-of-the-line plant material to elevate your project. By buying wholesale from trusted growers, we're able to quickly deliver your desired product at reduced prices. If you're not sure what plants you need, our team horticultural experts can guide you through the selection process, including our signature grasses only available for contract grow.
