Ethan Dropkin

Inspired by a childhood in the wilds of the southern Hudson Valley and Catskills of New York State, Ethan Dropkin is a life-long naturalist, creating his first native garden at age 12. Now with a Masters in Landscape Architecture and a Masters of Professional Studies in Horticulture from Cornell University, he has turned that life long love into a career of design and horticulture at firms like MVVA and currently LWLA. With projects in over 10 states and 2 countries, Ethan is always looking for the next challenge and the next new plant to fold into successful, sustainable, native-based design.
