What We Do
We develop thriving gardens for people and pollinators. We’ll work with you to create a solution specific to your surroundings and your personal interests.
We focus on ecological restoration, by removing invasive plant species, minimizing waste, recycling nature’s resources, and sourcing plants that benefit a wide range of species.
Who We Work With
Most often we work with residential clients who are interested in developing their home garden in a way that mimics natural processes.
Some do it to welcome the birds and the butterflies, some to reduce their maintenance burden, some to solve real problems like drainage issues and management of aggressive invasive species.
And quite often we work with someone who doesn’t know exactly what they want but is open to new ideas.
Wherever you are, we’d love to meet you, we’d love the opportunity to get to know your space, and to help you work towards developing your garden into something beautiful and meaningful to you and the abundant world we inhabit.

Currently our nursery stock is available to clients, landscapers and gardeners working in the trade, as well as the general public in Chattanooga, TN.
Visitation is by appointment only. Please reach out to schedule your appointment.
What Our Clients Say
From the moment I emailed Chattanooga Gardener, Ian has been responsive, attentive, professional. – Evelyn W
We are so glad we found the Chattanooga Gardener! Ian has been wonderful every step of the way. He not only understood the vision we had, but enhanced it with his own experience and knowledge!
He is professional, detailed, amazingly thorough and a hard worker. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to use Chattanooga Gardener! – J Harris
Ian is fantastic! We bought our home with a garden created over 50 years by the previous owners and want to honor, sustain, and build on it. Ian listened and understood immediately. He helped weed, and taught me what was beneficial and what should be removed.
He will guide me in picking out native plants that will add to the biodiversity and sustain pollinators while reducing the need for heavy watering. I am very excited to work with him in the coming years. – Tina C
