Marvelous Variety
Most of our plants come from trusted horticulturalists. To supplement, we propagate less common varieties on our own at our small nursery. We prioritize use of locally growing plants as often as possible, but we also observe that diverse garden compositions composed of some novel plants often promote extended appeal and longevity.Wildlife Minded

We prioritize creating stunning landscapes which offer suitable spaces for pollinators, allowing you to be a good friend of the planet while enjoying well-conceptualized beauty. Eco-friendly and visually pleasing, our gardens are designed to offer the benefits of both worlds.Low Maintenance
Low Maintenance
Once rooted, our gardens are intended to do well on their own, with little to zero mulching or watering required. However, minor adjustments may be necessary at various times to preserve design integrity and ensure continual plant well-being. Our in-house team will be available to provide assistance or advice at these periods.What Sets Us Apart
Other local design firms may be able to offer gardens that look pretty, but we go well past just aesthetics. We draw on numerous decades of experience and in-depth horticultural knowledge to compose gardens that are well poised to thrive in harmony, with minimal maintenance needed as the seasons change. Our installers place plants with intention, giving mind to how they will grow and highlight specific other design centerpieces on your property. We feel that collaboration is crucial, and we will work closely with you to fulfill your desires for your unique 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.
