Who We Are

Artful Gardens has been creating beautiful gardens for private residences in the greater Boston area since 1993.  Our team of talented gardeners, specializing in perennial flower garden design and care, can enrich your outdoor spaces with a wide variety of styles.  We are a small company, dedicated to providing superior personalized service along with unique design and plant choices that will set your garden apart from the rest.

 

Our gardens are built with your lifestyle in mind and with a respect for the natural landscape using appropriate plants and never adding harmful products to the environment.  We are sensitive to your needs and visions for your gardens and understand that your outdoor living spaces should reflect your personal tastes. 

 

If you have been dreaming about adding a cottage or cutting garden, formal borders, shade or woodland plantings, water features, container gardens, lawn alternative or any number of specialty or theme gardens, Artful Gardens will work with you to create the proper gardens to compliment your property.

 

 

Susan Strouse, principal designer and owner, brings to her gardens extensive horticultural knowledge along with a professional artistic viewpoint acquired from many years of working as a painter and sculptor.

After advanced studies in landscape design and horticulture, Susan continued her education by working for several nurseries, accomplished landscape designers and architects, before opening Artful Gardens for business. ÒGrowing up in a small rural town, my Dad would take us for long walks in the woods, identifying flora and fauna as we went. This is when my love and appreciation for nature and the outdoors began.  As a trained artist, looking for a new way to create, garden design was a natural fit.Ó

What We Do

Garden Design & Installation starts with a planning meeting with you to discuss the use and desired look of your outdoor spaces followed by a comprehensive evaluation of the garden site.  Artful Gardens professionals will work with you to create innovative garden designs and unique plant combinations all appropriate to your property and lifestlye.  Using the highest quality materials, we install the gardens with the utmost respect for your home and family.

 

Garden Renovation  may be what you are looking for if it seems as if your garden has been lost in a sea of uninvited weeds and overgrown plants. An extensive maintenance visit from Artful Gardens can include weeding, pruning, cultivating and improving soil, removing, dividing, and transplanting perennials.  We can restructure the garden beds and Ôoutdoor roomsÕ for a more cohesive design.

 

Garden ÔCoachingÕ visits can be helpful for those home gardeners who may need a jump-start to get back into working in their gardens. We will assess your existing gardens and help you decide upon a realistic approach to adding new plants and projects. We can help implement some new ideas, map out new garden spaces, answer your gardening questions and address any specific problems.  If you are looking for instruction in planting and caring for you garden, we can work with you side by side to get your project started or completed.
