Nature Inspired Garden Design

Artful Gardens is a garden design, installation and maintenance firm in San Miguel de Allende. It was founded by Rob Johnson in 1995, and is now led by Jhonny Gutierrez. Rob continues to create the designs for which the firm is known; Jhonny and his team bring those designs to life by installing and maintaining the gardens. This includes hardscapes, softscapes, water features, and outdoor decor.

Hardscapes are elements made of stone, tile, concrete, brick, and other hard material. Examples of hardscape include walkways, driveways, retaining walls, stairs, decks, patio covers, and more.

In contrast, softscapes are made of plants. Examples of softscape include trees, shrubs, grass, ground cover, flowers, and other living plants.

Water features are landscaping components that involve water. Examples include waterfalls, water fountains, waterways, pools, ponds, and more.

Everything else can be categorized as outdoor decor. These are smaller, moveable landscaping structures such as statues, birdbaths, benches, potted plants, patio furniture, lighting, and more.
