Let’s Create Your Garden Together

Planting with Purpose: 
Sustainable. Native. Organic.

Founded in Manhattan in 2005 and recognized by New York Magazine as one of the city’s best landscapers, christygardens creates organic landscapes ranging from rooftop terraces and penthouse gardens to intimate brownstone courtyards and public green spaces. Owner Christy Dailey brings more than two decades of award-winning urban landscape expertise to New York City, and to the Lower Hudson Valley, where she designs large-scale native plant gardens and habitat-rich landscapes that support pollinators and wildlife. Alongside full-service landscape design and project management, Christy offers private consultations and personalized garden coaching for clients seeking resilient, ecologically minded outdoor spaces.
