| Betty Greene Betty Greene began her partnership with Kennedy’s in 2001. Below is Betty tells you about her design background in her own words. I design gardens with the idea of inspiring people to live more fully on their own properties, caring for the land as a special part of their lives. My interest began as a young adult living next to a dairy farm in Old Deerfield where I had my first vegetable/flower garden. I found out quickly how important being close to the earth and involved with plants is for me. From that beginning I progressed to designing my own one acre organic garden (vegetable/shrub & flower) on the land where I raised a family for 21 years. With any spare time I read and studied about plants and as an artist with a degree in design & painting I decided to open up the possibilities of creating beauty in other people’s gardens. It has been one of my clearest and best decisions. For the last 18 years I have simply loved my work! I recommend traveling to see gardens other than your own as inspiration and education. The plants have so much to teach us when we are paying attention. |
