Tina Yi
Garden Designer/Horticulturist
After graduating from the horticulture internship program at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, I have dedicated my professional life to learning about plant care and design. I spent most of my time at the BBG in the Native Flora garden, which sparked my interest in exploring the connections between native wildlife and the plants that sustain them.
I practiced urban garden design and plant care at several small garden maintenance and design companies in NYC including the beloved among locals, Sprout Home Brooklyn.
After moving with my family to Northern NJ, I have been able to create gardens on a larger scale and utilize the fine plant nurseries in the beautiful highlands of Northern New Jersey. I also serve as a Garden Designer and Greens Keeper on commercial and TV productions.
