Garden Large, a highly respected company with over forty years of experience, has dedicated itself to naturalistic landscape design and installation since its founding in 1984. With a specialization in native plants and comprehensive, whole-property residential gardens, the company has proudly served a diverse range of clients spanning from New York’s picturesque Hudson River Valley to the historic and vibrant city of Boston.
Throughout its decades of operation, Garden Large has built a reputation for exceptional expertise, innovative creativity, and a genuine passion for enhancing outdoor spaces.
A key feature that sets Garden Large apart is its unique practice of cultivating many of the plants it uses in its landscape projects. By growing communities of native plants and other favored species that flourish in the local environment, the company guarantees that each landscape is not only visually stunning but also ecologically well-balanced.
This hands-on approach allows for better adaptation and longer-lasting plantings. Furthermore, the shrubs and trees they supply retain their natural shapes and outlines, contrasting sharply with the often overly manicured, “shorn” appearance typical of commercial nurseries.
This commitment to preserving natural beauty and aesthetics highlights Garden Large’s dedication to creating landscapes that are not only beautiful and sustainable but also harmonious with their surroundings, providing lasting value and ecological integrity for their clients.

About Duncan Brine
Duncan Brine, Princeton ‘79, is a principal landscape designer at GardenLarge and a landscape design instructor at the New York Botanical Garden.
“Mr. Brine calls it “structured naturalism.” And it is, of course. But there is also drama at play here: The plants have been given unexpected roles, in unusual places, and the delight comes in seeing what they will do on this ever-changing stage.”
“Mr. Brine shapes a landscape as a filmmaker would a story, conceiving it as an unfolding narrative, he said, “only discovered by moving through space.” With a cameraman’s eye, he knows how to take the evocative long view of a wild black locust grove against the marsh, for example, as well as the close-up. He sees how one plant influences the shape or color of another in its proximity, with its shade or by leaning this way or that.”
