Company Background
Green Art in Kittery, ME, is the creative venture of Thomas Berger, who founded the business in 1994. With an agricultural degree from Germany's Kassel University, specializing in soil science and plant production, Thomas brings over three decades of international experience from working in Europe, Australia, and West Africa. Originally offering installation and a retail nursery, Green Art is now dedicated to thoughtful landscape design. This focus is uniquely informed by Thomas's parallel career as a regionally recognized stone sculptor, allowing him to expertly blend living plants with enduring stone elements. The business's knowledge is grounded in seven years of hands-on nursery operation and is now expressed through the development of a new on-site Sculpture Garden in Kittery. Green Art specializes in creating natural gardens with native plants, habitats for wildlife, healing gardens, and designs that thoughtfully integrate sculpture.
Common Questions
What is involved in your greenscape and landscape design process for a Kittery home?
Our design process begins with understanding your property's specific conditions, including soil, light, and your personal vision. Drawing on founder Thomas Berger's formal education in soil science and plant production, we create plans that are both beautiful and ecologically sound. We specialize in designs that harmonize plants with stone, whether through natural rock features or artful sculpture placement. The result is a cohesive, low-maintenance landscape tailored to the Southern Maine environment.
How can your irrigation design help with common local issues like storm debris and edging damage?
In Kittery, heavy storms can wash out mulch beds and damage landscape edges. A properly designed irrigation system is key to prevention. We engineer systems that deliver water efficiently and gently to plant roots, minimizing runoff that can erode soil and displace edging materials. By stabilizing the soil and promoting healthy plant growth, a well-planned irrigation system helps your landscape better withstand and recover from storm events, reducing cleanup and repair needs.
Do you offer services to help establish a wildlife-friendly garden in my yard?
Absolutely. Promoting local insects and birds is a core part of our design philosophy. We use native plants that provide essential food and shelter for wildlife, creating a thriving ecosystem in your garden. Our designs often incorporate stone elements—from natural rockeries to sculptures—which offer additional habitat. This approach, informed by decades of horticultural experience, results in a dynamic, resilient garden that supports Kittery's local biodiversity.
