Ann Darling Stein, owner.

 Ann and her husband  purchased new construction in Prospect, CT, in 1986. The property was surrounded by rocks and weeds when they began the process of landscaping their new home. In need of a social outlet and ideas, she joined the Suburban Garden Club.  Gardening became a hobby that turned a naked landscape around their home into a private park like setting.  As her passion grew, she took courses at the local community college and continued her education to become a certified landscape designer through  the  Federated Garden Landscape Design Study Program. She has judged landscape designs with the FGCTLD council at the Ct Flower Show in Hartford for the past several years.

Ann finds there is an amazing amount of satisfaction in transforming a landscape to one that not only welcomes you home, but also benefits the environment.  Annscapes LLC was created in 2000, after years of solicitation by friends and family to help them create their landscapes. 

Ct License # 607551.

She continues to grow her business with a love of nature, knowledge of plant material, and a creative eye.
