OVERVIEW
Gill Hockett worked in garden design for more than 15 years; when he started styling for magazines and private homeowners, he picked up big-time clients and his business spread via emphatic word of mouth. Now in its seventh year of business, his design firm is emerging as a top pick for city institutions like New York University. Hockett’s stark, clean style has appeared at events such as Lincoln Center’s spring gala and City Harvest’s Practical Magic ball.
