About Groovy Gardens
Passion for Greenery, Craftsmanship in Niwaki
Every garden has a story. A soul. A unique character that comes to life with the right care and vision. At Groovy Gardens, everything revolves around creating outdoor spaces that are not only beautiful, but also radiate peace and harmony. Behind this craftsmanship is Rupert Hutzinger, a passionate garden designer with a deep-rooted love for the Japanese pruning art of Niwaki.

From Passion to Craftsmanship
Rupert’s fascination with gardens began at an early age. The structures, the colours, the way nature shapes itself – it captivated him endlessly. He is also an artist by background, working as both a painter and sculptor. Over time, gardens became his canvas, and when he discovered the art of Japanese gardening, Niwaki became his sculptures.
With years of experience and a sharp eye for detail, Rupert helps clients create gardens that go far beyond standard solutions. His designs breathe tranquillity, elegance, and timeless beauty. Whether it’s a complete transformation or subtle improvements, every garden receives the care and attention it deserves.


Groovy Gardens – Where Nature and Art Come Together
At Groovy Gardens, we don’t work with standard plans. Every garden is tailor-made – a reflection of its surroundings and the people who live in it. Our speciality? Niwaki – the art of cloud pruning and sculptural garden shaping. By carefully pruning trees and shrubs with precision, we create almost sculptural forms that add depth and character to the garden. The result? An outdoor space that not only looks stunning, but also brings a sense of calm and balance.
We offer a wide range of services:
