Urban gardens are an extension of people's homes and here in the Brooklyn Brownstone community the need for design to be equally functional and beautiful is a priority. John Rattigan, the resident garden designer at root stock & quade, combines his talents incorporating color, texture, scent and a dash of feng shui to create environments that are functional, stunning and harmonious. The gardens of root stock & quade set the stage for interactive environments ideal for city living. Many of John's garden designs are the hidden secrets among Brooklyn's old brownstone buildings. Take a peek at some of the gems here but if you have a slice of land to call your own consider a consultation with John or a complete garden transformation. From designing the layout, lighting and choosing the perfect fence, along with selecting paint colors and stonework to the plantings and final touches John creates understated and elegant outdoor living spaces for the urban dweller.
