LAND ETHIC
Fine Gardening & Ecological services
Land Ethic is Alexander Cameli. It is born from a drive to practice gardening as an art form and make the world a more beautiful and lively place.
After growing up in lush Atlanta, Georgia Alexander attended the University of Georgia where he studied how humans interact with their environment and earned a degree in Horticulture. In the course of these studies, and for years after, he travelled extensively in North America and Europe observing natural ecology and always finding the nearest garden to get lost in. From Boboli in Florence, Monet’s garden in Giverny, Sissinghurst in Kent, Longwood in Pennsylvania, and Filoli in California he has absorbed styles from throughout history and the world. In his personal gardening he finds the Arts and Crafts style of turn of the century Britain most closely manifested. Since 2021, he has managed the installation of the finest gardens in Savannah with Victory Gardens, and has mastered the local flora, soils, and climate of the Georgia lowcountry, as well as the techniques of landscape construction and management at any scale.
His next endeavor is yours.
ABOUT
Services
Private Estate Gardening
With an academic level of understanding of the garden and professional mastery of landscape care and construction techniques, Land Ethic offers fully comprehensive management of your garden and grounds. Not a landscaping crew but a dedicated steward/professional ready to build a relationship with you and your garden and handle everything with the artistry and care that it deserves. My goal is to ensure that every plant, path, and space feels intentional, alive, and in harmony with the character of your home. Together, we’ll shape a landscape that matures beautifully over time and reflects the best version of your property.
From pruning, soil and plant healthcare, irrigation, and seasonal enhancements to larger renovations and management of subcontractors, Land Ethic is ready to take the care of your grounds off of your plate.
Ecological Projects and Land Management
Do you have a larger space? Or one that defies conventional gardening? Land Ethic offers the design, installation, and management of outdoor spaces with the health of the local ecosystem in mind — integrating native plants, improving soil structure, managing stormwater, and creating habitats that support pollinators and wildlife. This approach aims to work along the grain of nature, rather than against it to achieve our goals with the least intervention possible. Land Ethic balances refinement with ecological integrity and tailors to the specific context of your land in order to enhance its natural character.
From native meadow plantings and woodland restorations to pond and drainage enhancements, Land Ethic brings an ecologist’s eye to fine gardening — creating landscapes that thrive gracefully and sustainably over time.
