Grace Fuller’s path to where she is now has not been a straight line; it’s taken organic twists and turns, leading her from fashion to jewelry to landscaping, where her philosophy is to embrace natural growth, and “let plants be how they’re supposed to be,” as opposed to forcing a certain aesthetic. Raised in both Philadelphia and Rome, she began her career as an editor at Vogue, then moving on to become a jewelry editor at W Magazine. While at W, she dabbled in design, launching her own line of luxury robe-coats called CINQUE. In 2018, however, she decided to exit the industry and pursue a life-long interest in landscapes and gardening.
Now she has her own company, which has completed various commercial and private projects in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Mexico. She’s committed to planting at least two-thirds native plants on every job — a practice that encourages a more organic ecosystem. When not working, Fuller lives with her husband and their two small children in the West Village, where she finds a balance of simple and complex in her rooftop garden, which resembles something like an untamed, urban forest sanctuary.
