Professional gardener in Prince Edward County

rooted in passion

grown with purpose

Hi, I’m Matt Palmer. With years of experience in hospitality, I know that exceptional service and client satisfaction go hand in hand. I bring that same dedication to my gardens, where I treat every outdoor space as a canvas, blending my love of design with hard work, integrity, and a passion for creating gardens that truly thrive.

built on integrity

When the world slowed down during the pandemic, my garden became my outlet. Being out there every day—hands in the soil, shaping and designing the space—made me realize just how much I loved working with this medium. That experience solidified my decision to turn a lifelong passion into a business.

My background in hospitality taught me the importance of building strong client relationships, and I carry that same dedication into my garden work. For me, it’s not just about creating a beautiful space—it’s about giving you peace of mind, confidence in the process, and a garden you can truly enjoy.
