Gary Plunkett-Twinn: A Visionary in Landscaping, Botany, and Sustainable Living

Gary Plunkett-Twinn, the visionary business owner of Zion Hill Outdoor Spaces, has always felt a deep connection to the land. With a profound love for botany, foraging, and the natural world, he believes that landscapes should be more than just visually appealing—they should be alive, functional, and harmonious with nature. His expertise goes beyond traditional landscaping; he views every outdoor space as an opportunity to blend design, biodiversity, and sustainability into something truly extraordinary.

From an early age, Gary was fascinated by the power of plants—not just for their beauty, but for their medicinal and ecological benefits. He has spent years studying native flora, wild foraging techniques, and natural remedies, learning how different plants can nourish both the land and the people who inhabit it. This passion for working with nature, rather than against it, is at the heart of his approach to landscape design. Whether it’s incorporating pollinator-friendly plants, edible gardens, herbal pathways, or regenerative soil practices, Gary ensures that every space he creates is deeply rooted in sustainability, well-being, and ecological balance.

At Zion Hill Outdoor Spaces, Gary and his team integrate these values into every project, crafting gardens that nurture both the earth and its inhabitants. He champions recycling and repurposing old materials, reducing waste while adding character and history to outdoor designs. His innovative use of foraged elements and plant-based solutions allows clients to experience landscapes that are not only beautiful but also rich in biodiversity, self-sustaining, and deeply connected to the land’s natural rhythms.

Whether designing a serene garden retreat infused with medicinal herbs, a wildflower meadow buzzing with pollinators, or a functional outdoor space where homeowners can forage their own food, Gary’s philosophy remains the same: gardens should be more than ornamental—they should be living, breathing ecosystems that support life in every form
