About Us
Our founder, Donald Pell, gained an appreciation for plants and landscapes early in life. After expanding his knowledge with guidance from talented architects, Donald was moved to put his enthusiasm into practice. Since then, Donald and our other team members draw on their diverse sets of knowledge and expertise as they work to bring to life intentional gardens built to delight as they evolve. From sketching out your ideal garden on paper to making it a reality at your site, our horticulture experts will collaborate with qualified construction partners to deliver award-worthy designs tailored to your vision and location. Our Building & Design ProcessArtistic Approach
Artistic Approach
Our philosophy for garden design is at the meetingplace of wildness and order. We will evaluate your property and carefully take into account its characteristics to fashion a truly immersive garden made to enhance your property’s character and to be admired over time.Incredible Variety
Incredible Variety
The majority of our plants are sourced from trusted horticulturalists. As a supplement, we cultivate less popular varieties ourselves at our small nursery. We emphasize use of locally growing plants whenever possible, but we also recognize that diversified garden compositions featuring some novel additions are often most conducive to extended beauty and longevity.Wildlife Minded

Low Maintenance
Once rooted, our gardens are intended to do well on their own, with little to zero mulching or watering required. However, some adjustments may be necessary at certain times to maintain design details and ensure ongoing plant well-being. Our internal team will be happy to provide support or guidance at these times.What Makes Us Different

We pull from numerous decades of expertise and vast horticultural knowledge to compose gardens that are well poised to thrive in harmony, with minimal upkeep needed as the seasons change. Our team members place plants with intention, paying mind to how they will evolve and highlight certain other design centerpieces on your site. We feel that collaboration is vital, and we will work in conjunction with you to honor your aspirations for your own individual garden.

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.
