TIM R. GARLAND, RLA

Owner, Board Certified and Registered Landscape Architect

With more than 40 years of experience in landscape architecture, Tim brings a fresh perspective and a passion for environmental sustainability to every project. His extensive background in commercial, residential and therapeutic sectors has earned him a reputation for versatility and design with purpose and conscience. The scope of his work ranges from neighborhood backyards and school playgrounds to large corporate headquarters and medical centers.

Tim has served as an advisor and consultant to numerous municipalities, public agencies and institutions, ranging from the City of Milwaukee to the Washington Island Township. Active in the communities where he lives and works, he’s held several civic board positions, including serving on the Parks Committee for the Village of Shorewood. He currently sits on the board of the ElderGarten Senior Community Garden in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Tim had served three years on the board of directors and is still a member of the American Horticultural Therapy Association, the only U.S. organization committed to promoting and developing the practice of horticultural therapy as a unique and dynamic human service modality.

Tim received his Healthcare Garden Design Certification from the Chicago Botanical Gardens in 2015. As a champion of healthcare design based on scientific research, he welcomes challenges and strives to emulate Mother Nature’s calming and healing influence in the urban environment. Whether the space is small or large, newly constructed or renovated, his designs always reconnect people and plants, in personal and universal ways.
