Our story…

Designscape Horticultural Services began with QUALITY. In 1983, as newlyweds, founders Dan and Deb Gluesenkamp came from humble beginnings. From industry and farming backgrounds respectively, sowing seeds in the agriculture community was always a passion to be shared. During their college years while working in State Parks and University Greenhouses they cultivated that passion and it began to grow into a business. Recognizing their deep roots as Indiana natives they finished degrees in natural resource management and botany and began working in Bloomington on residential gardens providing new design and renovation for home owners. From its inception in 1986, Designscape has fostered an intelligent course in landscape installation and property management while operating within a framework of Christian principles that is the basis for the enormous growth and success of the company.

Today…
