Deep Roots Gardening

ABOUT US

Molly Patnik’s lifelong love of nature was first planted in her grandfather’s garden on Kent Island’s Eastern Shore. Barefoot summers among lilacs, crab apple trees, and rows of vegetables shaped her earliest memories, and inspired a passion that would become her life’s work.

For over 20 years, Molly has been designing and cultivating outdoor spaces that bring families closer to nature and to each other. Her team of seasoned professionals serves the Main Line with a commitment to craftsmanship, care, and the highest standards of service.

Molly believes that nature’s beauty is meant to be shared. To her, gardens aren’t just decorative, they’re living sanctuaries that offer peace, joy, and a deeper sense of connection.

With every project, she brings that belief to life, one garden at a time, designing landscapes that nourish both the eye and the soul.

Her work goes beyond aesthetics. Each garden is crafted to support personal well-being, environmental harmony, and a deeper connection to nature. Known for her thoughtful listening and collaborative spirit, Molly works closely with clients to shape outdoor spaces that reflect their goals, lifestyles, and values. Whether it’s a healing garden, a family retreat, or a vibrant pollinator haven, her designs are rooted in purpose. Molly holds certifications in Horticulture Therapy from the Tyler School and in Horticulture and Landscape Design from the Barnes Foundation, bringing both technical expertise and a therapeutic lens to every project.

For Molly, a garden isn’t just a place; it’s a pathway to peace, joy, and renewal.

Hear What Our Partners Have to Say

“Simply the act of playing with the fleecy blossoms is enough to inspire a childlike whimsy. Likewise, seeing a collection of ‘Mt. Aso’ pussy willows bloom in tandem, as would be seen in a hedge, evokes a combination of feelings: from calm contentment, to happiness, to curiosity. Molly Patnik, owner and designer of Deep Roots Gardening in Pennsylvania, sent us a photo of a very happy and established installation of Salix gracilistyla ‘Mt. Aso’ in an outrageous full bloom performance, backed by some equally happy Magnolia grandiflora ‘Little Gem’ specimens that are creating an absolutely stunning hedge. Thanks, Molly!”
