About
I pride myself with offering a combination of horticultural expertise and a design sensibility which is personally crafted to reflect the sensibilities and needs of my clients. I follow up regularly and make adjustments to the project as the client so desires.
There is nothing quite so satisfying as a well designed garden of living plants and flowers. Gardens are a testament to a living world.

Don did an excellent job planting both terraces of my new Manhattan apartment, inclusive of a full self irrigation system. He did very thorough upfront research on all required components of the job, provided excellent-quality plants, arrived on time, did everything to my expectation, and followed up to make sure all is in good working order.
I highly recommend his services.

Don is the absolute BEST!! He Completely transformed our yard which was super overgrown and turned it back into a presentable one! He arrived on time, walked me through the work that needed to be done and explained everything to me and then got to work non-stop all day (even when it started raining for a bit!). He was an absolute pleasure to work with and I am looking forward to working with him again soon. I am so happy to have found someone I can trust to help me keep growing my little backyard. Thank you Don!

Thank you so much, Alexia. I love being part of positive transformation. Let me hear from you at Arrin9@aol.com so I can send you a list of suggested plants that would carry over through fall and winter.
