ABOUT US
Perennial Gardens’ Boston-based, award-winning landscape design services transform the ordinary into the exceptional. Perennial Garden’s philosophy is to create gardens that seamlessly meld the land to the surrounding architecture and enforce the strengths of the broader environment. No matter how formal or rustic, these gardens are meticulously designed to exude a sense of ease and beauty so that it seems they have always existed, without drawing attention to man’s hand in their creation. While our highly skilled team of craftsmen take personal pride in the installation of each project, we also enjoy collaborating with other design professionals — architects and interior designers — to ensure that our client’s dream is fully realized.
ELLEN ABDOW
Principal
Once a public high school teacher, Ellen Abdow pursued her love of gardening working during summers on estates for a prominent landscape designer. Her knowledge of perennials was founded in her subsequent work for one of New England’s permier perennial nurseries. Since 1993 when she began the business, Perennial Gardens has continued to grow through word-of-mouth referrals. Ellen and her team pride themselves on three main things: understanding the clients’ individualized needs and aesthetic preferences, assessing the environment’s specific demands, and utilizing their deep horticultural knowledge base. ellen@perennialgardens.net
