Company Inspiration
A defining quality of a Landscape Architect is a passion for plants. Steven Gossett’s passion has earned him an additional title as Horticulturalist over a lifetime of experience.
“Although my schooling at University of Idaho informs my scientific knowledge of greenscaping, the satisfaction of my work in the field comes from talking with other seasoned gardeners. Anju Aucher , botanist at Edwards Nursery, and I have traded industry secrets for years—we’re both self-taught and constantly inspire one another.”
“Based on our cooperative experiments, I’ve created test gardens throughout the City of Boise—including camellias, magnolias, day lillies and xeriscape gardens—breaking with convention to press the boundaries of what can be grown within the extreme climate changes in southwest Idaho.”
Gossett Landscape and Design, established in 1990, has developed a reputation of unique plant use and unexpected plant combination in both private and corporate landscape design.It has also established Steve Gossett as a designer’s designer.
