native Garden Design in UPSTATE NY
Her Approach
Alex’s goal is always to balance design with sustainability, and to create gardens and landscapes that are not only beautiful, but viable. From the buzzing life of a pollinator meadow to the sleek lines of an urban oasis, she plans gardens that not only look pretty, but that support biodiversity, with a special focus in native garden design.
Her Process
The design journey begins with an assessment of your goals for the space, a site visit during which you walk and look at the property together, and during which Alex learns about its terrain and exposure. We will further discuss how you plan to use your garden, what your priorities are, what moves and inspires you, and what, ultimately, your maintenance commitment will be.
From there she drafts an integrated palette of textures and colors, relying on the sequence of the seasons to craft immersive, sensory experiences that are also functional for daily life and regular use.
Her Experience
With years of experience in private and corporate garden design, event work, and floral installations across NYC, Alex brings a unique flair and perspective to every project, backed by seasoned expertise. Whether you’re dreaming of a pollinator’s paradise or a chic, sustainable retreat, she has the skills to bring it to life. Serving the heartbeat of the city to the tranquil Finger Lakes, the rolling Catskills, the scenic Hudson Valley, and beyond, she aims to design gardens that are eco-friendly, long lasting, and life-improving, to design environments that not only dazzle but also endure, allowing you to savor every moment in your outdoor sanctuary for years to come.
