Raised by a family of avid gardeners, architects and builders Casey Boyter has always had dirt under her fingernails. Her Environmental science studies began as a teenager and lead her to Austin in 2000 where her love for sustainability and environmental design soon became her career. Since opening Casey Boyter Gardens in 2004, she has had the opportunity to be a part of the construction and continued care of Austin’s finest gardens varying from large scale estates to downtown loft balconies and cottage gardens to green roofed residences.

A BA in Environmental Geography from the University of Texas at Austin followed by years of research, extensive travel and nursery work are the basis of her environmental education. Casey is accredited as a Green Roof Professional (GRP). In the summer of 2006, Casey co-founded Growers, a green roof non-profit in Austin, with the goal of creating a burgeoning green roof industry through education; supported by local municipalities and the green building industry.
