Ken Gergle
My lifelong passion has been that of interacting with and interpreting the visual world around me. For 30 years I did this as an advertising and nature photographer, constantly seeking to explore and perfect the art of creating strong images—images that inspire, motivate, and stir emotion.
Since 2006, I have continued my visual exploration by designing and creating outdoor spaces, ...spaces that serve a purpose. That purpose might be to create a peaceful haven that draws you in to relax in nature's comfort, or to creatively solve a difficult landscaping issue. Very often, it is a combination of both. Regardless of the underlying purpose, my ultimate goal is to transform the space into something beautiful, natural, and welcoming!

As an artist and self-taught muralist, I spent years creating large scale art which gives the feeling of being surrounded by, and immersed in, a beautiful panoramic space. I was fortunate to have a growing clientele of businesses and homeowners in northern California who commissioned my work and made my business successful.
In 2008 I relocated to central North Carolina to work as an interior designer and, most recently, as a floral designer and merchandising specialist. Ken and I married in 2014 and have now joined together to collaborate on creating amazing outdoor spaces.
