Our Story
The Secret Garden was founded by a local entrepreneur who grew up watching barren Harare plots become vibrant sanctuaries — and believed every Zimbabwean home deserved an outdoor space worth living in.
What started as a small plant nursery on Marsh Road in Glen Forest has grown into Harare's premier full-service landscaping studio — without ever losing that original belief: that great gardens genuinely change lives.
Today our team combines local horticultural expertise with world-class design sensibility — delivering results that consistently astonish our clients across Harare and beyond.
