Gregg has designed and maintained gardens and landscapes in southern Vermont, western Massachusetts, Savannah, Georgia, and the Seacoast of New Hampshire. His client work — in addition to garden residencies around the world — has afforded him a deep knowledge of trees, shrubs and perennials, the use of tropicals and subtropicals in the garden, rock gardens, vegetable gardening, sustainable and low-maintenance garden practices and permaculture.

My husband and I moved to Brattleboro, Vermont from San Diego, California about ten years ago. Our Vermont house was a lovely cape with several “empty” gardens in front and back. We knew very little about gardening in New England and I have always wanted true English Cottage Gardens. When we met Gregg and told him what we were hoping for, he completely understood. We now have gardens that last from March to October, of all sizes, shapes, and colors, one flower or shrub fading into another as the season passes. Gregg designed and implemented my Cottage Gardens with something blooming all the time! The colors and varieties are magnificent! We highly recommend this “gentle” gardener.

Gregg is a unique landscape designer, gardener and person. He is always on the hunt for just the right plants for both a new garden or improving an existing one. He seems to know every unique garden center within a 300 mile range. Gregg is amazing at looking at a space and envisioning a lovely garden for all seasons. He has been very good at working with us to help us beautify our property in ways we never imagined. Gregg does not limit himself to one kind of landscape design but works to fit the property and the owner's vision. His skills have enriched many New England gardens as well as International gardens. Bottom line - you will love working with Gregg and your garden will be thankful.

Gregg has been coming to our garden for several years now to collaborate with us in creating a beautiful design. He has a vast knowledge of plants and has experience working in world-class garden from the cottage or formal gardens of the British Isles to the Mediterranean. Because of his talent and his landscaper’s “eye”, he sources the most magnificent plants and sites them in our garden in their proper environment—and create a beautiful design that thrives over the seasons and years. We find Gregg to be extremely hard-working, brilliant, creative and thoughtful. He lives and breathes his passion for gardening iand writing poetry, which for him, are complementary and synergistic.

Gregg has transformed our tired, boring garden, into one, full of surprises. Now we have color all year round. Even the textures are interesting!

One spring day I asked Gregg if he might reclaim my late husband’s peonies from the strangling crownvetch. This job promptly done, Gregg stayed on, adding a handful of lavender here and a towering philipendula there. Odd to speak of magic when referring to a man whose hands are always in the stony mud, and who wields a tool he calls “the slayer.” But Gregg is a magician, a gentle poet-gardener, a genius who practices “forensic gardening.” Perennial by perennial he has restored our beds, planted flowering trees, unearthed all that had been lost and gone on to introduce unimaginable new beauty into our ancient garden.
