Donald Pell translates his impressionistic visions of meadows and forest borders into perennial-filled native landscapes. Drawing from the New American Garden style, Pell seeks to unite gardens designs with regional landscapes.  

His designs reflect the nature of the medium. “The notion of a wild garden carries an array of interpretations and emotions. Allowing the garden to seed or evolve is the magic of these places,” Pell says. 

An award-winning landscape designer, he calls Pennsylvania home, though he creates gardens throughout the country.
