Heritage garden design for historic homes

We design historic gardens for old Maine homes.

Our gardens are perennial-rich and rooted in history, shaped with heirloom and period-appropriate plants chosen for the age and character of the homes they surround. Guided by the rhythm of Maine’s seasons and a practiced eye for texture, color, proportion, and restraint, each garden is composed much like the houses themselves, thoughtfully crafted and finished slowly under nature’s hand. The result is heritage gardens that feel settled, enduring, and inherited rather than installed, as though they have always been there.

Around these houses, gardens wait.

Around these houses, gardens wait.

In Maine and New England, old homes stand weathered and rich with story: timber frames raised by hand, silvered clapboards that lean against years of wind, stone steps that hold memories of frost and footfall.

Around these houses, gardens wait.
