I started Chicago Specialty Gardens in 1995 with the goal of bringing together a team of designers, artists, builders and horticulturalists to create the best gardens in Chicago. I believe we reached that goal long ago. What has developed in recent years is that our staff has grown and taken on increased responsibility in their roles. The CSG team is deep, talented, seasoned and more capable than ever. Our ability to undertake even the most complex and challenging projects has never been greater. CSG is in a good place, well positioned for further growth, and we look forward to discussing your next project with you.
