Environmental Designs

Winterberry Gardens had its beginnings as Environmental Designs, a small Landscaping Design and Build Company founded by two brothers, Scot and Al Leavitt in 1985. It's a story of humble beginnings, where the brothers at one point ate nothing but Ramen Noodles for two straight weeks. Despite the challenges, they worked hard and slowly built their company. The turning point came when they found a property in Southington, Connecticut, which was a sandpit but had wild winterberry shrubs growing all over it. The brothers were drawn to the site due to the bright red berries that blanketed the field. In tribute, they re-named their company after the shrubs that first drew their notice, and it has remained Winterberry Gardens ever since.
