Donyale Werle and Paul Jepson are a wife & husband duo who joined forces professionally during the pandemic to establish an ecologically-driven garden design/build firm. In 2024 we added WILDINGCAT Farm, a cut-flower and specialty annual farm in Andes, NY. Together we offer an unique approach to floral and garden design that combines ecology, craft and personal attention. We offer our clients thoughtful design and homegrown-plants along with start to finish services. Our goal is to create beautiful & ecologically harmonious environments for families, businesses and events.

Donyale is a Tony & Obie winning Broadway set designer, now garden designer, horticulturist and flower farmer. Paul Jepson, a Broadway, BAM & television stagehand has turned towards masonry, carpentry, and management for permanent installs & events. Donyale teaches in the graduate program at Brooklyn College Department of Theater and is a public speaker on sustainable production choices.
