FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a certificate in Landscape Design from NY Botanical Garden, where I worked as a volunteer for several years. My other experience includes working with several private properties in the NY and RI, as well as designing a garden for the monastery in Russia.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I found my passion in gardening and landscape design when I moved into a brand new house and started transforming my bare surroundings into my dream back yard. I soon realized that I needed professional knowledge to make this dream come true, so I signed up for the NY Botanical Garden's program. There, I not only studied, but volunteered in their numerous gardens and in a few years I received my certificate in landscape design. My passion has lead me to a wonderful career that I hope to pursue for the rest of my life.
