Our Story
Nelange was founded by Tony Chen and Jake Mcnally, two landscape designers with a shared passion for natural elegance in gardening and a commitment to sustainable practices. Their years of experience in landscape design and ecological gardening, combined with a belief that gardens should be both beautiful and beneficial to the environment, led them to create nelange as a platform for promoting natural and sustainable gardening aesthetics.
Tony brings his expertise in natural landscape design and a focus on native plants and ecological principles to Nelange, while Jake infuses his artistic sensibility and a passion for creating elegant and sustainable garden spaces into every garden design, plant profile, and resource guide. Together, they’ve explored natural garden styles and sustainable gardening practices from around the world (from wildflower meadows to eco-conscious formal gardens) to curate a collection of resources and inspiration that embodies the essence of natural elegance in gardening.
Why we started Nelange

And how can embracing natural elegance in your garden contribute to a more beautiful and sustainable world? By exploring these elements, you’ll unlock the secrets to creating gardens of natural elegance with Nelange.
