Fred Gonsowski (pronounced Gun-sow-ski) is an honor graduate of the Junior College of Albany (Sage College of Albany) and the College of St Rose, where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in fine arts. He studied painting, print making, ceramics, drawing, color theory, art history, structural, and perceptual design.

In the Interior Decorating world, Fred has helped a number of people with projects like.. selecting paint colors for both inside and outside of the house, arranging furniture, and decorative accessories, picking out furniture, choosing cabinets, lighting, and counter surfaces for kitchens.
Fred has over 40 years of gardening experience under his belt. That experience started at about age ten, when his mother taught him how to plant and weed. Fred’s garden covers over 4000 square feet of beds and boarders on a 3/4 acre lot, at his home Whimsey Hill. In the 90’s, the Burpee Seed Company had a Show Us Your Garden contest, where he won Third Prize in America.
Fred Gonsowski Garden Home covers gardening and interior decorating, with a lot of advice based on color, design, etc. culled from my art education.
