Meet the Owner

“A designer by trade and gardener by experience, Maddi was inspired to launch her own business after seeing the need for thoughtful & sustainable green spaces in Philadelphia neighborhoods.”

I am the founder of Viridian! As the daughter of two avid gardeners and travelers, we lived right across the street from a 250 acre park. We visited formal gardens, botanic institutions, and parks around the world. After moving to Philadelphia almost 20 years ago, I searched for those special green spaces throughout the city all the while maintaining my backyard oasis in my free time. During the pandemic, I realized the importance of the green canopy and hope to bring beauty & sustainability to every home.

Personal Initiatives

Let me show you the difference a committed gardener can make! Always wanting to learn new techniques and finding ways to make gardens more efficient and valuable for my clients, I recently graduated from the Barnes Horticulture Certificate Program at St. Joseph’s University (May 2024) and am currently enrolled in the Ecology Based Landscapes Course with Larry Weaner, FAPLD (August 2024).
