Plant. Love. Grow.
Our teams are full of plant enthusiasts who develop innovative solutions to overcome the constraints of the urban environment.
We’re passionate about creating green spaces in the city, where nature often feels like a luxury. As a group of designers, engineers, craftspeople and artists, we work together to create stunning indoor outdoor spaces that enhance your lifestyle.
It all started when California native Curt Alexander moved to Philadelphia and realized how stark the city is with its brick and mortar, concrete, and empty sidewalks. For his taste, it lacked life and greenery— so he did something about it. Starting with his own house, he and his wife Tara put in window boxes, hanging baskets, planters, and created a green facade.
It wasn’t long before people would come by and ask, “Can you do this for me?”, so they would do the same for friends and neighbors. After recognizing the demand for greenery within the city, Curt and Tara opened a garden center in South Philadelphia in 2009. Next, they added the design - build component of their business to expand their possibilities for creating green spaces in the city.
In Philadelphia, where outdoor space is often an extension of your interior space, we make outdoor rooms where your life can unfold. We have the experience and skill to offer complete design and installation packages. Our team is delighted to work with residential and commercial clients to bring natural elements into the city environment.
We work on rooftops, courtyards, balconies, building facades, and corporate interiors to squeeze greenery into the brick and mortar. Our team specializes in pedestal pavers for roof decks, custom fabricated trough - style planters, trellis and screening panels, durable and elegant plant palettes, living walls, landscape lighting and efficient water saving irrigation systems. We’re proud to offer the most comprehensive garden design services in Philadelphia.
