About Secret Gardens

Vision Rooted in Craftsmanship, Care, and Integrity

At Secret Gardens, every project begins with a vision shaped by care, craftsmanship, and integrity. Founded by Philip D’Amico, the company grew from a lifelong passion for design and a belief that outdoor spaces should enrich the way people live. Our journey into landscaping was never just about plants and stonework, but about creating places where families gather, friendships flourish, and life feels more connected to nature.

A Garden Center That Sets Us Apart

Plants & Planters Garden Center in Richardson, is an essential part of what makes Secret Gardens unique. More than a nursery, it is where many of our landscapes take shape. Every plant is nurtured in clean, healthy conditions, given the right fertilization, and raised with long-term vitality in mind. By the time a plant reaches a client’s property, it is already thriving with strong roots that are prepared to flourish.

Walking through Plants & Planters is a different experience from an ordinary garden center. The air feels fresh. The plants look vibrant. Everywhere you turn, the focus is on lasting health rather than quick turnover. This commitment is a source of pride for the entire Secret Gardens team. It ensures that every landscape begins with plants that are healthy, resilient, and prepared to thrive.

A Philosophy Built on Relationships

What sets Secret Gardens apart is a philosophy rooted in relationships. Every client is met with a personal consultation, attentive listening, and a collaborative design process that honors their vision. Each design is reviewed at the garden center, where ideas come alive and decisions feel tangible. This connection between Secret Gardens and Plants & Planters is not only symbolic, it is essential. It ensures that what is promised in a design is reflected in the living materials that bring it to life.

Building Trust Through Experience

Over the years, this approach has built more than landscapes, it has built trust. With a high approval rate on design presentations, clients leave with confidence that their investment will be respected and their vision honored.
