My Resume


Judy Glattstein

Who Am I? What Do I Do?

First and foremost, I garden. One of those fortunate individuals, my avocation and vocation morph into one and the same. Thus I garden for my own pleasure, and consult with home gardeners, providing design suggestions and planting guides to refine and improve their personal landscapes. I consult for commercial clients, offering specialized guidance on plant selection, maintenance, and design. A popular instructor, I teach at the New York Botanical Garden and for the Continuing Education Program of Cook College at Rutgers, the University of New Jersey. I lecture within my home state of New Jersey and across the United States, and have lectured abroad: Canada, England, Holland, and Japan. I write books and magazine articles. And other plant- and garden-related activities have a way of sprouting.

If you are interested in inviting me to give a lecture, teach a class, design a garden, or write an article, please feel free to Contact Me


Garden and Horticultural Consultant

to residential clients and commercial design / build firms, offering plant selection, maintenance, and designs incorporating native and exotic plants.

I bring a diversity of interests, experience, and study to my work, from participation in an intensive seminar in Japanese Garden Art and Design in Kyoto, Japan; lectures and workshops on native North American plants; observations in gardens visited across the United States, in the UK, Holland, Japan.

Residential

My services range from a simple consultation to site overview and garden design. My work addresses each individual's concerns: herbaceous border design, a focus on native plants, attracting birds and butterflies, a meditative garden - always with attention to year-round beauty in the garden, as well as subsequent maintenance requirements. I am pleased to work with enthusiastic gardeners looking for some guidance in plant selection, rearrangement of existing plants, scheduling of maintenance, as well as those who prefer someone else to do the work, supervising their landscape help.

Commercial

I consult with selected landscape architects and firms.
