Andrea Gara has been designing beautiful gardens for over twenty years. After a start in the nursery trade, which gave her an exceptional grounding in plant culture, she trained for four years at the world-renowned New York Botanical Garden School of Landscape Design.
An avid traveler, Andrea has had the opportunity to tour, study, and photograph gardens around the globe, including many in the Mediterranean, Japan, China, Vietnam, Thailand, France, and England. These experiences have informed her unique design aesthetic.
