QUINCY HAMMOND

Quincy Hammond's roots are literally in the soil. A third-generation landscape architect, she began acquiring her intimate knowledge of plants at a very young age, working summers in her grandfather's nursery. After graduating summa cum laude from the University of Georgia, she spent eight years at Hollander Design in Manhattan. Her own practice, which specializes in minimal and modern interpretations of formal gardens, now has offices in Georgia and New York City... In response to a few questions about design and inspiration, Quincy reveals some of the cultural references and personal penchants that characterize her work…... David Hicks' garden, Oxfordshire. A paragon of good garden design: axial relationships between interior and exterior spaces, borrowed views, graphic plantings, refined details and minimal flowers. It is the rare garden in which real-life experience fulfills literary expectation.
