S. Kalki Winter is the founder and lead designer of eScape Landscapes Memphis, and a lifelong Midtown resident. For more than two decades he has helped families and neighborhoods create outdoor spaces that are both beautiful and resilient. He believes that with a focus on native plants and sustainability, every garden is an investment in the future.
“The giant trees that we now enjoy were planted in a much younger town than the one we are in now. They have literally grown with Memphis, shaping the landscape for generations.”
