Hello!

I'm Fabienne, the gardener and designer behind Paper Crane Garden Co. Born and raised in France, I trained as an art historian at the Louvre, then studied at Stanford and in Tokyo, eventually earning a Ph.D., specializing in Japanese art. Along the way, I became curious about the ways both art and garden making help us find our place in the world. That curiosity led me to the Barnes Arboretum, where I earned my certificate in horticulture, and to apprenticeships at cherished local public gardens. I live with my family on a few acres in a Pennsylvania farmhouse that is older than the Republic.Today, I bring a unique blend of art historical insight, horticultural knowledge, and a romantic, eclectic aesthetic shaped by years of observation, experiments, and travel, to every project. I work with clients in Chester County and beyond who value good design, care about ecology and sustainability, and want a garden that reflects their own sense of place. In all my work—teaching, designing, arranging flowers— I value the human touch, slow living, and the joy of collaboration.
