Sarla DeGeorge is the owner and lead designer of DeGeorge Garden Design, specializing in modern gardens that are both ecologically sound and visually stunning.

Sarla's design philosophy is rooted in a unique blend of artistry and structure. Her lifelong passion began in childhood, as she explored her father’s construction sites and New England's most beautiful gardens with her mother, an avid gardener and artist. This early influence led her to formally study art and design at the Oregon College of Art and Craft, with a focus on ceramics and textiles.

After honing her aesthetic in the studio, she gained pivotal hands-on experience in horticulture, working as a lead gardener on several private estates in Big Sky, Montana. She solidified this practical knowledge with formal training at the California School of Garden Design and earned her Permaculture Design Certificate from the esteemed Occidental Arts and Ecology Center.

Now based in Stowe, Vermont, Sarla draws on her diverse background to create timeless spaces in harmony with the local mountain landscape. By seamlessly blending her extensive design expertise with a deep understanding of native New England plants, she works closely with her clients to ensure every DeGeorge garden is a thoughtfully modern, balanced, and sustainable extension of its environment.
