ABOUT M.J. McCABE

M.J. McCabe has been designing residential landscapes for over 20 years. After completing the Landscape Design Certification at The New York Botanical Garden, she traveled extensively to study garden design in England, Ireland and Japan. A convergence of these styles is reflected in her elegant and enduring landscapes, set primarily along the Connecticut shoreline. An ongoing collaboration with skilled landscape contractors, masons and carpenters produces landscapes that complement and enhance your home and your lifestyle.

In the International 2010 Landscape Design Awards, M.J. McCabe won a Small Gardens Merit Award from the Association of Professional Landscape Designers.

M.J. McCabe is a member of the Garden Writers Association, and she currently writes for the Shoreline Times. Her writing and photographs have appeared in Costal Homes, River & Shore, The Designer, Fine Gardening, the Hartford Courant, Decorating & Remodeling Magazine, and in the book A Country Garden for Your Backyard by Marny Smith and Karen Bussolini.

M.J. McCabe Garden Design currently serves the Connecticut counties of New Haven and New London. Please call 203.484.9031 to inquire about Landscape & Garden Design for your home or business.
