We specialize in personalized Landscape Design, Installation & even continuous Garden Care! Long time Gainesville resident Jon George lived in Europe and Asia for several years before returing home to start Cottage Gardens Inc. in 1995. Studying and living near the gardens of artist Claude Monet in Giverny, France, Jon gained inspiration from Monet's expert combinations of light and color in structural beds he called "paint box beds". Living in Japan and Hong Kong heighted Jon's appreciation for simplicity and the use of negative space in design.
We specialize in personalized Landscape Design, Installation & even continuous Garden Care! During the design consultation, our staff will personally come to your yard to "walk through" the process of planning and designing a garden with you. Why? Because the design must harmonize with your personal tastes, architectural setting, and growing conditions. This initial consultation usually lasts about 1 hour, and the cost is $75. From this consultation, you will receive a list of appropriate plants, an outline of the proposed design, and an estimate of the installation cost.
