Allow us the honor of taking you on an informational tour down some celebrities’organic vegetable patches and lavish landscapes. What makes this trip even more interesting is that these celebrities aren’t just people popular in Hollywood but also deserve to take extraordinary credit for these gardens. Here are the ten celebrities who have green thumbs.

Julianne Moore

After a poor attempt to design her own garden, famous actress Julianne Moore sought help from AD100 designer Brian Sawyer to design her dream sanctuary. With a very good investment property located in the heart of West Village, Moore enjoyed a playfully and romantically designed and developed garden. Moore’s garden highlights her terrace by reclaimed bluestone pavers and her raised beds of boxwood and ivy. It is also at the same time a basketball court, where a freestanding hoop stands with some benches that matched the matte-black accent trim of Moore’s 1905 townhouse.

She shares her gorgeous home with her husband, Martin von Haselberg. Their terrace garden features the Alchemist, a climbing variety of roses and overlooking Central Park. Not only that, plants such as foxgloves, English and Boston Ivies, hostas, and spirea – all shade-loving plants – are lusciously grown in her urban garden.

Oscar de la Renta

Dominican fashion designer Oscar de la Renta made it to the garden catalog when he created and developed a spectacular paradise in his oceanfront home in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. The famed fashion designer did an awesome job by putting a sago palm as the frame of a gate that leads to a lovely courtyard with a beautiful garden. It features a bristling century plant and variegated agave, some lanky consolea and candelabra euphorbia, and diminutive golden-barrel cactus all throughout. This place of retreat can be credited to de la Renta’s green thumb and couturier’s eye.
