Denise King has over 35 years of design experience with a background in graphic design, interior design, space-planning and facilities management. She went on to integrate her design know-how with her passion for gardening and horticulture, graduating from the Radcliffe Landscape Design Program in Cambridge, MA. She began her own firm in 1994, after gaining experience as a designer with a landscape design/build and maintenance company.

For the past 15 years, Denise has focused on residential landscape design and garden maintenance for homes and historic gardens. Known for her 'attention to details' and project management skills, she has also planned and installed commercial projects for banks, churches and corporate offices.

In 2007 she was awarded the Outstanding Riverbend Volunteer Award for her instrumental work in designing and planting the new native plant garden and rain garden at Riverbend, the new headquarters of the Ipswich River Watershed Association.

Past public work with The Trustees of Reservations includes: an adaptive re-use study of historic buildings and landscape concepts for the Crane Estate, and consulting to Richardson & Associates, of Saco, Maine, on the landscape for The Inn at Castle Hill in Ipswich.

Many of her projects involve planning for septic replacements, grading and drainage improvements, renovation of mature landscapes, preservation and conservation of wetlands, and introducing native species to conserve resources and attract wildlife.

Denise earned her degree as a Certified Landscape Designer from the Radcliffe Landscape Design Program and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Wayne State University in Detroit, MI.
