The majority of our plants come from trusted growers. To supplement, we cultivate less common varieties on our own at our small nursery. We emphasize use of locally growing plants whenever possible, but we also recognize that diverse garden arrangements composed of some novel additions often promote extended beauty and longevity.Wildlife Friendly

Minimal Maintenance
Once established, our gardens are intended to do well on their own, with little to no mulching or watering required. However, minor adjustments may be needed at certain times to preserve design details and ensure continual plant well-being. Our internal staff will be available to offer support or insights at these times.What Sets Us Apart

We draw on multiple decades of hands-on work and vast horticultural knowledge to compose gardens that are well poised to thrive harmoniously, with minimal maintenance required as the seasons pass. Our team members orient plants with intention, giving close attention to how they will evolve and highlight specific other design features on your site. We believe that communication is vital, and we will work closely with you to fulfill your aspirations for your own individual garden.

Philadelphia is the nation's sixth-largest city with a population of 1,603,797 as of the 2020 census.

Philadelphia is known for its extensive contributions to American history, especially the American Revolution, and for its contemporary influence in business and industry, culture, sports, and music.
I have worked with Donald Pell Gardens for several years, and have only positive things to say about the entire team. From concept to completion, they are thorough, organized and incredibly easy to work with. I would recommend them without any reservations!

I saw Donald Pell's signage on my way to work. It was the best phone call I ever made. Donald and his entire team are professional, thorough, and do an excellent job. Once the job is completed they continue to monitor the job. It's nice to see a company that takes pride in their work. The photos I have attached are plantings that are only 5 months young. I would highly recommend this company.

I was on the phone with Jenna their landscape architect and I thought she's awesome. I would hire them sight unseen! She was so wonderful listening and providing me with her professional insights about my plans that I only wish I could hire them except my property is too small. This company really cares about their clients and even prospective clients! That's RARE to find and a solid winner for me.

Don Pell and his team were fantastic. They apprised of us what to expect for our project from time frame to cost to detailed plans. The team was excellent answering questions and giving us maintenance ideas. Included was a detailed "blueprint" with names of plantings.The group did four meadows for us and all are thriving 1-3 years after planting.Don Pell was available by phone whenever necessary. We highly recommend the Don Pell team and if we had any more areas to plant, would hire them again!

We engaged Don Pell Gardens six months before our new house was finished with the goals of creating a landscape design that anchored our new home to the rural/mountain environment, stabilized steep terrain and managed water run off from the large roof area. Don's was attentive to our needs and concerns to ensure they were reflected in his proposal. The design and implementation exceeded our expectations. In addition to accomplishing the stated goals we have beautiful gardens that we will enjoy for many years to come. Don's team were very focused, professional, courteous and worked seamlessly with our builders as they completed the house. Even our builders were complimentary! We have no hesitation in recommending Don Pell Gardens. In fact we intend on having him back in the future.
