“I grew up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in an elegant farmhouse and barn built in 1733.  My parents are very aesthetic and taught my siblings and I about  all things beautiful – gardens, art, homes, books,” Hillbrook Collections founder Alison Caribasi tells KDHamptons. “When I was a freshman at college in Virginia, sadly our barn burned down. The Amish rebuilt the barn just like in the movie Witness.  When my children all left for college in 2013, I started using their craftsmanship to build my Garden Houses for Hillbrook Collections.”Alison adds, “Having a garden house of my own inspired me to offer several designs that are both American and European in style. In Europe, many gardens are accented with a beautiful garden folly which is not only useful, but also completes and adds an aesthetic touch to the property as a whole.  This is the purpose of my collection – to add a charming and practical addition to your home and garden that you will treasure for years to come.”

“Each Garden House is unique and no two are alike. I like to add architectural elements from my clients home and incorporate them into the design.  Inspirations come from travel, books – anything visually pleasant! In addition, my clients challenge and inspire me constantly. I have met so many wonderful people.   It’s quite satisfying creating a positive product that gives my clients so much happiness,” says Alison.
