Michael Veracka has worked in landscape gardening in New England and across the United States since 1982, creating gardens from small urban spaces to large gardens in the country.

At the root of his work is a reverence for nature and respect for the natural environment.

Michael's landscape philosophy brings together his educational training at the Rhode Island School of Design (where he earned a Masters Degree in Landscape Architecture), Providence College, the New Alchemy Institute, and practical experience as an organic grower and market gardener, environmentalist, stone artisan, licensed arborist, certified horticulturist and urban gardener.

Michael has taken his skills to the class room, developed course work and shared his expertise at the podium before numerous groups.
