GardenGates: Gardening, Design & Garden Landscaping by Jane Schwartz Gates

This site is presented by Jane Schwartz Gates. Jane was born in New England. She started drawing before she could walk and spent her favorite childhood times in nature and in the garden. She received her Bachelor's degree from the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design. A post graduate degree in art and design followed from the Academia di Perugia in Italy.

Making a living as an artist and a lyricist in Italy, Jane was "discovered" by Red Bus Music Publishers and brought to London, England where she wrote songs – winning the Grand Prize for the Best Song at the Yamaha International Song Festival (now the European International Song Festival) with co-writer, Peter Yellowstone. She continued to show and sell her paintings, but entered the commercial world of plants managing a plant shop and starting her own organic gardens. She has studied horticulture and worked in the green industry for over 25 years, propagating, hybridizing, running nurseries, designing gardens, building landscapes and managing plant stores in London, Boston, Los Angeles and a number of other cities.
