Blooming Urban Design Scapes

Landscaper

In 2004, while her children were attending PS 199 on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Rani set out to revive the school’s long-lost garden. In addition to bringing the garden back to life, she established a gardening club in which she taught students and supervised a team of parent volunteers. Now 10 years later, the program at PS 199 continues to thrive.

During the nine years she spent at PS 199, Rani learned all she could about horticulture—voraciously reading every landscaping book she could find as well as attending numerous classes at the New York Botanical Garden. She became the go-to plant expert among her friends and family who always encouraged her to put her talent, knowledge and passion into an official business. Finally, in March of 2011, BUDS was born.

    Working with Rani from Buds and Buds was an amazing experience. She came in to look at our place and had clever solutions to our rat problem. She brought her crew promptly and they did a fantastic job.

    ... In fact it is doing great. We are very happy with our new garden.

    We hired Rani and the team from Blooming Urban Design Scapes and now we recommend them to anyone and everyone. We would not even consider a change to our garden without bringing Rani in first. She is knowledgeable, fair, friendly, relaxed and patient. She followed up on all the work consistently and my garden is beautiful. Stop looking around you have found the best.

    The ladies at BUDS are not only extremely skilled and innovative at what they do, but they bring to the job a DIY community building approach to creating rooftop and terrace spaces. ... Added bonus- they install a highly efficient and green type of irrigation called drip irrigation that saves money water and time.
