Artistic Landscape & Garden Design Service


Custom Design

Tailored to your unique style, we provide visually appealing landscape design solutions.


Container Gardens

Container gardening is an ideal method for adding life and color to balconies, decks, and steps, strategically positioned containers around gardens, concealing empty spaces, and forming natural "fences."


Four-Season Design

Carefully selected perennials and annuals + a mix of native plants, trees, and shrubs to add color and interest all year long.


Interiorscapes

To combat the winter blues, we design and craft a variety of indoor gardens, including plant walls, Zen gardens, fairy gardens, succulent gardens, and terrariums – the choice is yours to enjoy!


Pollinator and Naturalistic Gardens

Ecologically complex gardens mimic the structure of wild habitats to increase biodiversity.


Garden Establishment and Maintenance

Vermont Garden Design provides soil testing and amendments; pruning; pest control; bulb plantings and seasonal “clean-ups.”

    "I Have A Blue Garden!"

    I wished a blue garden were possible, and now have a lovely one.  As the garden matures, so does our enjoyment of it throughout the year. Susie brought back my gardens!
