Fueled by a love of landscaping and equipped with a Ford Focus wagon, Craig Jenkins-Sutton started Topiarius Urban Garden Design in the spring of 2003, and set about to beautify the Chicagoland area. After two years of successful design and installations on his own, Topiarius acquired a new truck, and Sara, Craig’s wife, joined Topiarius as co-owner. Together they have worked to slowly and steadily grow a company that creatively meets the landscape design and installation needs of urban dwellers.
In the spring of 2007, they couldn’t contain themselves any longer. Sara became inspired to bring what we do outside in the garden to the inside, and Topiarius Floral Design was launched. Our desire to continue to meet clients’ needs also precipitated this new direction. With requests for floral arrangements being made, it seemed like a natural progression for our services.
The summer of 2010 brought with it a new season of change and growth for Topiarius. After a lot of effort and with the support of our great customers, Topiarius moved out of our private, residential office on the north side of the city, and into a new and larger office space and larger landscape yard, just off Sacramento between Chicago Avenue and Lake Street. As we look to the future, Topiarius will continue to develop new skills and new resources to keep pace with the ever-evolving demands of the landscaping and floral design industries. We look forward to providing our customers the best possible service for years to come.
