About Us

John Higdon has more than 20 years experience as a plant designer, commercial installer and nursery manager and is a Certified Landscape Contractor. 

He began his career at Ruppert Landscaping in Atlanta before moving to Hastings Nature & Garden Center as Nursery Manager.  Later, John migrated to Lush Life, a boutique in Buckhead, designing plant scapes and managing projects for interiors, balconies, terraces and gardens. Prior to starting City Garden Design, John worked as a landscape designer for Garden Supply Company in Cary.

"I like making things grow – in kitchens and living rooms, on balconies and patios, in the garden and across landscapes," Higdon says. "Adding plants to any space has a transformational effect, making it a warmer, more relaxing place to be. That's what I like to do."

John earned a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture from University of Georgia.
