Spring has arrived, and with it, a renewed passion for gardens and green spaces. We spoke with a handful of inspiring local garden-related businesses who bring creativity, expertise, and heart to everything they grow and design. From landscape visionaries to a pool designer to an arborist, meet the people cultivating beauty across our region.
Everything Botanical
Abby and Patrick Taylor have built a business that extends well beyond a traditional landscape company, combining custom plant production, advanced arboricultural consulting, and a software platform designed to bring clarity and coordination to the green industry.
The Green Spot
The Green Spot, a garden center and full-service landscaping company in New Milford, was born from a trip to Ireland, and that origin feels right.
Old Farm Design + Landscape
Old Farm occupies an early 1800s farmstead in the Litchfield Hills, where acres of display gardens have matured over decades alongside the family that tends them.
SavATree
SavATree was founded in 1978 by Ralph Robbins in Bedford, New York with a clear premise: tree care should be grounded in science, not intuition.
Scott’s Nursery and Landscaping
The nursery prioritizes plants sourced from local growers, a decision rooted in both quality and sustainability. Shorter transportation times mean less stress on the plants and a stronger likelihood they are already adapted to the region.
Scott’s Pools
Jamie Scott recently rejoined the family business to lead Scott Pools into its third generation. Here, she reflects on legacy, craft, and what comes next.
