ELM Garden Design

ELM designs and installs residential gardens in the Catskill region of Sullivan County, New York. Our intent is to design for you while keeping nature in mind. ELM Garden Design incorporated in the spring of 2008, but my partner Paul and I bring years of experience and a wealth of knowledge to the firm. My love has always been for the arts with my current passion being painting with flowers. I have a degree in Art & Art History, a Masters of Fine Arts, and have worked as an illustrator, art director and photographer. I have been gardening in the Catskills since 1992, became a Master Gardener in 2003 and received a Certificate of Landscape Design from the New York Botanical Gardens in 2005. Paul Blanton is a skilled mason and woodsman with a degree in Natural Resources and Conservation along with 28 years of practical experience landscaping in our area. We strive to develop gardens with distinct identities which express both the client's style and ideas and reveal the potential of each individual property. We specialize in creating sustainable garden habitats using indigenous plant communities and materials that are in harmony with the local ecology and geology.
