Blue Heron Landscape Design, LLC

Blue Heron Landscape Design is a design, build firm. Drawing inspiration from nature and from each site's surroundings, we create gardens that accentuate architecture and create sense of place, providing our clients with elegant and functional outdoor spaces. Our projects are primarily residential, and range from small gardens to complete site renovations throughout Connecticut. Scott Hokunson, principal and owner of Blue Heron Landscape Design, has been creating landscapes and gardens since 1981 and brings a wealth of experience and expertise to each project. A proponent of natural and sustainable principles, he works closely with his clients to create elegant and functional outdoor living spaces. As a garden writer, whose work has been featured in Fine Gardening Magazine, Connecticut Gardener Magazine, and APLD's The Designer, Scott also writes the company blog Garden Sketches. He is a founding member of the international garden design blog Garden Designers Roundtable, and lectures to garden clubs and other interested organizations on topics such as garden design, plants, and gardening. Scott has also served an adviser to a Sustainable Landscape Design class at Wesleyan University, co-host, designer, and co-producer of the TV show The Ultimate Backyard Makeover on WTIC Fox 61, and is a past board member of the Connecticut Chapter of The Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLDCT).
