About Alli

After more than twenty-five years as an orthodontist, shaping smiles and building confidence, Alli Guleria, our Founder and Principle Designer felt a quiet pull toward the spaces that had always grounded her…gardens. What began as weekends became an all consuming passion. Spending time planting on her own two acres gradually became something deeper: a devotion to creating sanctuaries where nature and design exist in harmony.

During a season of personal and health challenges, her garden became her refuge. In the rhythm of tending, pruning, and planting, she found stillness; in beauty, she found healing. The garden restored her. Body, mind, and spirit, and revealed itself as both sanctuary and teacher.

That awakening led her to share the same sense of renewal with others. When she submitted a before-and-after of her own garden to Garden Design Magazine, its publication became a quiet turning point. It was a moment of affirmation that this was more than a passion. Encouraged by those who saw her gift for creating serenity through form and foliage, she founded Gardenalia Home: a design studio devoted to crafting soulful, enduring outdoor spaces that feel both cultivated and alive.

Today, Alli brings her significant wealth of knowledge and exposure to gardens worldwide, and simply designs by a single belief… that a garden should offer restoration, wonder, and the ineffable peace of belonging.

Whether it’s the murmur of water within a hidden courtyard, the dappled light beneath a specimen tree, or the gentle symmetry of a greenhouse in bloom, Alli designs spaces that invite you to pause to breathe, to reflect, and to find your own sense of home within nature.
