Master Planning
“Fromme has been the primary landscape designer at the Atlanta Botanical Garden for well over a decade. His depth of knowledge about plants, design, strategic planning and master planning is remarkable and impressive. Tres facilitates master planning and strategy for botanical gardens in a way that engages staff, board members and other participants assuring that their voices are heard and thoughts documented. He is also very adept as paring ideas and data down to the important themes and issues, leading to thoughtful plans with appropriate phasing and development. Tres has an impressive eye for detail and very high design aesthetic. Our floral displays, orchid exhibits and Skyline Garden are some of the most beautiful displays at the Garden and are truly world class.” – Mary Pat Matheson, President and CEO, Atlanta Botanical Garden, (Atlanta, GA)
Garden Design
“The exhibit spaces that Tres has designed are uniquely Desert Botanical Garden. Each space captures the essence of the Sonoran desert through creative and unexpected design of the plant palette where he interjects light and shadows, texture and color that bring new ways to experience the desert landscape. He is able to apply his many talents to a broad range of environments, transforming them into jaw dropping experiences that take the visitor on a journey through the landscape with wonder and awe.” – Elaine McGinn, Chief Experience Officer, Desert Botanical Garden (Phoenix, AZ)
Children’s / Family Gardens
“It has been a distinct pleasure to work with Tres Fromme (3FD) over a period of time going back to 2011. Tres’ talents are immense, from an ability to conduct meetings and seminars to his artistic skills as a designer and his immense knowledge of plants to his abilities to bring out the best ideas in people around him. Both at Tulsa Botanic Garden and Bellingrath Gardens and Home, I have been able to work with Tres on practically the entire spectrum of design work that could be done at a public garden.” – Todd Lasseigne, Executive Director, Bellingrath Gardens and Home (Theodore, AL) and previous President and CEO Tulsa Botanic Garden (Tulsa, OK)
Seasonal Display
“I have not only found his many talents to be quite impressive, but I respect the way he consistently delivers an impactful design for all garden guests. It has been my observation that Tres will listen carefully to his clients throughout the design process, asking key questions and summarizing throughout the design process to confirm his understanding of the team’s expressed goals, enabling to him to ultimately deliver an impactful design.
In my 30 plus years working as an architect, high rise contractor, developer and now the COO/ Project Manager for Atlanta Botanical Garden, I haven’t had a more positive or productive experience in landscape design or installation than I’ve had working with Tres. – Art Fix, COO, Atlanta Botanical Garden (Atlanta, GA)
