About Us
Our founder, Donald Pell, gained a zest for landscapes and plants early in life. After honing his knowledge with guidance from talented architects, Donald decided to put his passion to work. Today, Donald and our other team members draw on their diverse sets of knowledge and expertise as they work to create intentional gardens built to delight as they grow and change. From sketching out your ideal garden on paper to building it at your site, our horticulture architects will collaborate with qualified building partners to deliver high-value designs tailored to your desires and location. Our Building & Design ProcessCreative Approach
Creative Approach
Our approach to garden design is at the intersection of wildness and order. We will evaluate your site and carefully consider its characteristics to construct a truly immersive garden made to enhance your property’s character and to be admired over time.Marvelous Variety
Marvelous Variety
The majority of our plants come from trusted horticulturalists. To supplement, we cultivate less popular varieties ourselves at our small nursery. We emphasize use of native plants as often as possible, but we also observe that diverse garden arrangements featuring some novel additions often promote maximized appeal and longevity.Wildlife Minded

Minimal Maintenance
Once established, our gardens are intended to do well by themselves, with little to zero mulching or watering required. Still, minor adjustments may be necessary at certain points to preserve design details and ensure ongoing plant health. Our internal staff will be happy to offer support or insights at these periods.What Sets Us Apart

We pull from numerous decades of experience and in-depth horticultural knowledge to curate gardens which are well poised to thrive harmoniously, with minimal maintenance required as the seasons pass. Our team members orient plants with intention, paying mind to how they will evolve and accent certain other design centerpieces on your site. We believe that communication is crucial, and we will work closely with you to fulfill your desires 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.
