Growing up on a produce farm in Pennsylvania, Jeffrey always had his hands in the dirt. There he would test various plant cultivars, build patios and create water features in his parents’ backyard. Fast forward to Penn State University where Jeffrey earned a B.S. in Landscape Contracting Design/Build with a minor in Horticulture. His studies would lead him to an internship at the esteemed Longwood Gardens with additional study tours in England and Italy.
For over nine years Jeffrey owned and operated his own landscape design company in Manhattan where he provided design, installation and maintenance services for rooftop and terrace gardens. Through this venture he enjoyed conceptualizing designs and taking them from an initial draft all the way through to the final installation. Jeffrey’s work has been featured in The New York Times, NY Magazine, Elle Decor and many print and digital publications.
Jeffrey loves creating gardens and watching how they evolve and mature. He values the importance of outdoor spaces in Manhattan and enjoys seeing them used to their fullest potential. When not at work Jeffrey enjoys painting and drawing, exploring historical sites along the Hudson River Valley and spending time at his summer beach community on Fire Island.
