Elwert Peters feels the move is a positive one for her business’ future. The atmosphere of Saratoga Springs is a copacetic fit for the personality of her naturally beautiful, low maintenance landscape designs. Though Jessecology’s service area will continue to include surrounding counties, Jesse is excited to grow her business right at home, in Saratoga Springs, and especially hopes to make inroads with developers for landscaping at new construction sites.
“In the past three summers, so much of my working time has been consumed with commuting to Saratoga County,” Elwert Peters said. “This community has given my unique approach such a warm welcome, it really just makes sense to invest in a life here.”
The Jessecology portfolio includes many residential homes spanning from Lake George to Saratoga and the Capital Region, several businesses including “Somewhere in Time,” a bed and breakfast event center in Bolton Landing where rain gardens were established and an Edward Jones office in Clifton Park that sports a woodland habitat garden and recently a municipal project for the town of Queensbury at the landscaped site located on the corner of Bay and Quaker Roads. Jessecology designs exclusively utilize plant material that is indigenous to the local region which in turn creates landscaping that’s remarkably sustainable and low maintenance. Besides being a landscape designer, Jesse is also a garden writer and frequently gives public speaking presentations on topics ranging from butterfly habitat gardening to kid friendly birdscaping.
Elwert Peters graduated from Skidmore College in 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in Ecology, Botany and Horticulture. She has completed several internships and apprenticeships with other ecologists and landscape designers and draws heavily on her experience in ecological field work when generating a design for a property. Her passion for gracefully restoring habitat in the home and business setting is paralleled by a deep love for the unique ecosystem of Saratoga County, which she writes prolifically about on her website.
