The Beginning

The Principal of Tera Garden Design is Dario Balboni, an Italian national with more than 15 years of international experience designing gardens in Europe, Asia and The Caribbean. He holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Landscape Architecture from Kingston University in London, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Landscape Design and Planning (currently Landscape Architecture) from the University of Sheffield in the UK.

The Masters

Having completed his professional studies in 2003, Dario has gained invaluable experience throughout his career, which has seen him work with some of the best landscape architects and designers in the industry. 


In the earlier part of his career, Dario practiced with European based landscape architecture firms of Latz + Partner in Germany, and Stiljgroep in The Netherlands respectively. Several years later, Dario continued to refine his signature style, taking cues directly from one of South East Asia's most talented landscape architects Ms. Wannaporn Phornprapha of PLanscape, with whom he worked directly between 2007 - 2010. 


From 2014, Dario has been based in The Caribbean managing a small Landscape Design Studio, Terrain Design Bahamas, where he and the founder - Mr. Timothy Bethel - focused on developing residential garden for luxury homes with specific focus on sustainability.

Through the years Dario has facilitated his signature style which he describes as 'a natural fusion of beauty and function '. His gardens are an emotional response to a place or a moment, in which he attempts to capture aesthetic beauty, spiritual feeling all while respecting nature. This is the fundamental concept behind Tera Garden Design, which essentially means ‘ Humble Love for Nature & Gardens.
