DAVID TOCKMAN ~ (he/him)

Founder | Garden Creator, Consultant & Coach

David’s mom likes to tell everyone that he’s been a gardener since he was 3 — “working” alongside her in their family’s Long Island home garden.

A lifelong gardener, David moved to Brooklyn in the early 1990s to tend to some roots of his own.

In 2021, David left his law career behind to make his dream of playing in the dirt everyday his reality acquiring a Certificate of Horticulture from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

As of 2023, David is now a full-time garden creator, consultant and coach designing gardens for clients across Brooklyn.

When David isn’t shopping for / reading about / chatting with / tending to plants, he’s looking for birds…and listening to music…doing a few cat-cows…or watching football (the kind you do with your feet).

He loves birdwatching and forest bathing with his partner, Wendy Jo, listening to music with his sons, Oliver and Gabriel, reading the New Yorker and watching his beloved Tottenham Hotspur.
