Sarah Follett
Horticultural Operations Manager

After working in advertising, television and film production in New York and Los Angeles for almost 20 years, Sarah changed careers to pursue her passion for gardening, horticulture and landscape design. A native New Yorker, during her childhood Sarah made frequent visits to the Bronx Zoo, the New York Botanical Garden and Wave Hill that instilled an early fascination with plants, animals and the natural world. Beginning her practical training at NYBG and Wave Hill, Sarah continued her exploration of horticulture working at a specialty and rare plant nursery and then with a prominent landscape designing and maintaining large private estates on the east end of Long Island. Upon her return to Brooklyn, Sarah was drawn to the more intimate scale of urban gardens and their deeper connection to the interior spaces functioning as dynamic living extensions of the architecture.
