Joey Pellegrin
Raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, Joey developed a love for nature, the outdoors, and plants from a very young age. The women in his family each had their own horticultural passions — from houseplants and ornamentals to tropical species, edible gardens, and manicured landscapes. Their influence instilled in Joey a lifelong appreciation for the beauty and variety of plants.
When Joey moved to Charlotte in 2000, an entirely new world of cold-hardy plants opened up, thriving in conditions far different from the New Orleans climate. This experience broadened his knowledge and deepened his respect for how place and environment shape what can truly flourish.
Over the years, Joey has been fortunate to work with many mentors across the green industry, gaining experience in retail, greenhouse sales, residential landscapes, installation, and maintenance. His first business began at just 14, cutting grass and planting shrubs and annuals. From there, his love for design and architecture grew through exposure to cultural influences and design experts who helped hone his eye for detail.
At Seasons Fine Gardening and Landscape Design, Joey’s philosophy is simple: honor both the needs of the client and the needs of the space. Every site has its own story — the soil, the microclimate, the surrounding environment — and the plants themselves often reveal what works best. With thoughtful planning and a respect for nature’s rhythms, Joey curates spaces that not only achieve a client’s vision but also improve with time.
For Joey, every garden is an extension of who he is. The work brings joy, motivation, and the chance to meet each property’s unique challenges with creativity and care.
Colin Graves
What Colin loves most about landscape design is the opportunity to transform concepts into tangible, lasting environments that enhance both functionality and beauty. It is a unique blend of creativity, strategic planning, and hands-on execution that brings outdoor spaces to life. He enjoys collaborating with clients to understand their vision, then guiding that vision from initial design through construction to completion. Colin takes pride in seeing a project evolve from a blank canvas into a space people can enjoy.
What Colin admires about the fine gardening design team is their passion, attention to detail, and collaborative spirit. The team consistently brings creativity, expertise, and care to every project, making each landscape not only beautiful but thoughtfully maintained.
