Sarla DeGeorge is the owner and lead designer of DeGeorge Garden Design, specializing in creating 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 pursue formal study of 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 horticultural experience working as the lead gardener for 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 in Occidental, California.

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.

DeGeorge Garden Design is proud to be a full-service design-build company. For Sarla, the design is only the beginning. She is personally committed to overseeing the design and execution of every project. This integrated approach ensures that the finished garden perfectly matches the vision, meeting her high standards for craftsmanship and quality.

Sarla works with her dedicated team from initial concept through final installation, providing clients with a seamless, single-source experience and delivering meticulously finished outdoor spaces.
