About me

I'm a Brooklyn-based horticulturist, specializing in the design and installation of green roofs and in landscape design. I just completed a degree in horticulture at the New York Botanical Garden's School of Professional Horticulture, focusing on sustainable landscape and green roof design.

Current project

Last season, I assisted in the design and installation of a large green roof for the new corporate headquarters of Arizona Iced Tea. It's pretty darn awesome! Currently, I'm the Associate Designer and Horticulture Manager for Verdant Gardens Design, a boutique landscape design/build firm in Brooklyn.

Type of gardener

horticulturist, greenroofs, landscape design

Favorite garden activity

Pruning is so zen.

If you get to Brooklyn in April, you should make a point to go to the Cherry Blossom Festival at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It's one of my favorites (aside from the ones in Washington D.C., of course).
