Our Story
Pim and Sam grew up with a love for gardens and the value of living in harmony with nature.
Pim's English parents created gardens wherever they lived — maintaining them, expanding them, playing in them, and talking about them. "Shall we walk around the garden?" or "Have you seen the garden today?" were common questions in the household. Desmond tended the roses and grass tennis court; Marjorie built perennial gardens, grew fruit and vegetables, and worked in the greenhouse all winter. The garden was a living entity through the seasons.
The Earls have spent summers with the family in Midcoast Maine for the last 35 years. Over the last five years they have spent more and more time there, and less time everywhere else. Together they believe that a garden can have many forms and functions, and should be designed to fulfil its owners' needs and wishes while respecting the spirit of place.
