Gardens by Design

A Landscape should be Stimulating all Four Seasons:
flowering perennials and ornamental grasses on a warm summer day, colorful foliage in the fall, and berries, seed heads, and evergreens in the winter.

David has developed his own 2-acre landscape in Wilton over the last 15 years comprised of numerous perennial gardens, evergreen and white birch groves, and a naturalistic water feature that is comprised of a 2,000-gallon pond and a 50-foot meandering stream that leads to a series of cascading waterfalls. The pond is home to several dozen goldfish and an equal number of European Golden Orfs. Frogs have come from the surrounding woods to make their home there as well.

David’s garden designs provide habitat, seeds, and berries that invites in many native birds including hummingbirds, several species of butterflies, and dragonflies that provide a stimulating and satisfying complement to a bustling garden.
