John G. Wilson
A love for art and roses is where it began. Elizabeth Golightly Wilson, John’s mother, revered earthly beauty. Inspired by her passion, Golightly Landscape Architecture was born. From tidy courtyard gardens and exterior renovations to master plans for new construction and estates, Golightly Landscape Architecture provides comprehensive and site-specific designs that draw our clients into the garden.
From master plans for new construction and estates to courtyard gardens and exterior renovations, Golightly Landscape Architecture has designed more than 80 residential gardens in Birmingham and beyond.
