Meet High-End Garden Designer Fernando Wong
In 2001, Fernando Wong emigrated from Panama to the United States, arriving in Miami with only $400 and a suitcase. “I learned English by watching television, and my first job in the industry was working on a landscape crew. I moved up to drawing in the office and was eventually able to start my own firm in 2005, acting as both the owner and only employee,” he reminisces. Today, Fernando is responsible for some of the most breathtaking garden and landscape designs in the world and has become a respected authority on the subject.
