Mackenzie Younger is a landscape designer, artist, and the founder of New York Flower Farm, a native plant nursery based in upstate New York. The farm is known for its unique focus on growing ‘living bouquets’—combinations of native plants that serve as both sustainable flora and artistic expressions.

Younger studied painting at the Rhode Island School of Design and botany at Brown University. His love for North American flora grew after graduation, leading him to study landscape design at the New York Botanical Gardens. In 2015, he launched his first plant-focused company, Native NY Gardens, which emphasizes the importance of native plants in modern urban landscapes.

Younger is also a talented visual artist, and his work extends into unique creations like his “Jackets” series from 2017, which merged fashion and art. This led to a special edition of jackets for MoMA's Items: Is Fashion Modern? exhibition in 2018, as part of MoMA’s Bootlegged event.

Raised near the Brooklyn Bridge in the former South Street Seaport neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, Younger now lives in the Hudson Valley with his wife and newborn son.

In 2019, he purchased 14 acres in the Shawangunk Mountains, that he has developed an elabroate 5-acre stroll garden, which is open to the public for special events and tours.
