Our Temenos is a women-owned, and operated, landscaping firm offering ecologically centered design, installation and maintenance services across New York City and in the surrounding environs. We work in the public and private context with specialization in native perennial gardens that build climate resilience while offering clients a space for rest and respite.

We have a growing portfolio of innovative ecosystems in commercial, residential and public settings. Through the design and feedback process, we hone green infrastructure intelligence to solve individual and community scale problems such as storm water management, steady ambient building and outdoor temperatures, and increased local biodiversity. It is important to us that, while solving practical problems, we co-create elegant and generative sanctuaries for humans too.
