Now that I'm living in a place where the winters do not entail six months of snow cover (Alexandria, VA to be exact), I've decided to get back to doing what I love: bossing people around in their own backyards.
Seriously, one of my favorite jobs was working as a landscape designer/supervisor for Nabel's Nurseries, a high-end nursery and landscape design/build outfit in Westchester NY, where I did get to issue commands to the wonderful landscape crews and dole out horticultural advice to clients.
My goal is to guide garden lovers in creating fabulous outdoor spaces using intelligent design strategies, sustainable garden practices and a discerning eye.
In this blog, I plan to share my horticultural and design tips based on my 20+ years of training and expertise. My training started at my grandpa's Kings Park NY vegetable garden. Grandpa Gargano, like all good Italian-American men, kept everyone in tomatos, squash and basil. I got to do the weeding and bug picking, not exactly glamourous jobs, but essential ones.
From then on, I was pretty much hooked on horticulture. Not so much on bug picking.
Feel free to send me questions and I'll see what I can do to help.
