The Captured Garden

Window Boxes, Rooftop Decks, and Entrance Container Gardens add a welcoming environment for your employees and visitors. The Captured Garden has worked throughout New England creating container gardens, and designing gardens for clients who want their spaces to be beautiful, not typical. By using custom designs that showcase uncommon plants we create combinations for our clients that are anything but cookie cutter. Our goal, when the project is completed, is to hear “It’s perfect, it’s just what I wanted,” followed quickly by “What is that beautiful plant, I’ve never seen anything like it.” One of our most challenging projects involved creating an urban sanctuary on a square foot roof deck in downtown Boston. Our client wanted to break up the hard lines and angles and feel like the visitors were surrounded by gardens. We started by dividing the large, overwhelming space into more intimate, welcoming “rooms”. Custom planters were built for each room to define and divide the spaces. Evergreens provided structure and privacy while various grasses and hardy perennials added fragrance, movement and color. A large collection of container gardens complemented the design while not obstructing the nearly 300 degree views of Bunker Hill, the Zakim Bridge and Boston Harbor.
