Founded by Swiss-born, long-term Brooklynite Danielle Rambert, Persephone Moss is a landscaping company rooted in ecology and permaculture, creating environments that mimic natural systems. Drawing on her training as a designer and lifelong love of nature, Danielle designs gardens that feel effortless, grounded, and in harmony with their surroundings—like they've been there forever.
The Persephone Moss team works with a rich palette, selecting species that flower throughout the warmer seasons and reveal winter's subtle, muted beauty. The result is a layered, visually compelling landscape. For hardscaping, the team favors natural materials—native woods, stone, both new and reclaimed, and lime paint—chosen for how they weather and age. Together, these plantings and materials support biodiversity, attracting invertebrates and birds while providing essential shelter and food.
We design and plant spaces of all sizes, from window boxes and backyards in Brooklyn to estates in the Hudson valley, the Catskills, Long Island, and beyond. Whether your vision leans toward bold colors, is guided by fragrance, calls for a peaceful courtyard or lush, green refuge, or transforming a lawn into a wildflower meadow—we’ll bring it to life in collaboration with you.
Danielle has earned a certificate in permaculture from the Yestermorrow Design/Build School, studied at the New York Botanical Garden, and completed the Planting Meadows course through NDAL.org. She also holds a BFA from Art Center College of Design.
