Showing Everything with Ceramic Planters
Williamsburg Neighbor
It is always flattering and fun when you do one project and the neighbor peeks over the fence and decides they want something similar. The neighbors are great friends, but do not want to the same garden, so despite a mirror layout we were tasked with creating something new – similar space, different execution. With […]
NoMo SoHo
This work-in-progress has become more than a garden revival endeavor and grown into a collaboration of local businesses and artists. Here at Nomo Soho we began by revitalizing the beautiful cast iron tunnel – updating the plants to present New York’s best perennials and create a lush, magical, Instagram hotspot. Our garden design work then […]
West Side Water Tower
We New Yorkers love our water towers. These seeming relics of technology are actually still the best way to trap rainwater for apartment building use. This garden features one prominently. On the plus side—what a joy to design a garden around this iconic symbol of New York architecture. On the challenging side, we needed to […]
West Village with Grace
Grace Church is arguably one of the most beautiful buildings in the historic neighborhood of the West Village. Imagine our delight when we got a rooftop gig with a view of its faux Medieval tower. This was one of our first rooftop designs and the client is still with us today. We began as Potted […]

Tropical Getaway
The moment you walk through the archway at West Broadway you are transported to a tropical island – Gilligan’s island to be specific. You’ll expect to see the Professor and Mary Ann eating charcoal-grilled pizzas and sipping watermelon margaritas at the bar. This pop-up restaurant has a hip, relaxing, cool, tropical feel—due mainly to the […]
Williamsburg Pergola Oasis
We first began designing this project in 2019 with the couple who lived in the building. By the end of 2019, the outdoor oasis was complete, and the couple had become a family. We love design stories like this, in which our projects must be multi-functional – seamlessly transitioning from playtime to cocktail hour. In […]
The Rockaway Hotel
We first designed this hotel garden project in 2017 in collaboration with the owners who themselves hail from the one-of-a-kind Rockaway Beach. Our design features aim to honor the unique spirit of Rockaway Beach and provide a space for locals and visitors to convene. Here, visitors will find our staple Ivy Wall located at the […]
Yorkville High-rise Passive House
Rebecca Cole GROWs was awarded this design project in 2017. We were thrilled at the opportunity to work with the building architect’s, Arquitectonica, on designing and building green spaces to accompany the passive housing units. This all-inclusive passive housing development required that we meet specific standards of efficiency, making the greening of the rooftop, terrace, […]
Soho Grand Hotel
One of our favorite things about the Soho Grand Hotel is the way it honors the neighborhood. As such, we incorporate the colors of the surrounding buildings into our container and plant choices—blues, tans and steel. The garden doesn’t block the view, it draws you into the view. We plant terraced suites, penthouses, and rooms […]
The Roxy
The Roxy is old Hollywood themed and has a charming fifties style movie theater on its lower floor. The penthouse is most often inhabited by musicians who want a place to escape and entertain guests after a big show at Madison Square Garden. The three-story rise to the penthouse garden allows for late night parties […]
