Glenn Rieker

Glenn Rieker holds a degree in Landscape Architecture and has spent a lifetime designing, building, and maintaining gardens throughout southeast Wisconsin. With over four decades of experience, he continues to bring landscapes to life, combining beauty, function, and the healing power of nature.

Following the loss of his beloved wife, Cheryl, Glenn embraced a new chapter—one rooted in resilience and purpose. He rebranded their website turning it into a platform of encouragement for those navigating grief, career transitions, or simply feeling like life hasn’t yet blossomed the way they’d hoped. His message is simple but powerful: "Motion is Lotion for the Body and Soul™." Through his books, Glenn invites others to get outside, dig in, and reconnect with the world in ways that restore both body and spirit.

In addition to his work in landscape design, Glenn is an accomplished photographer with a deep appreciation for capturing the world’s quiet beauty. He shares his visual art through an online gallery that features both traditional and aerial photography. As an FAA Part 107 Certified UAS pilot, he brings a unique perspective to his work—whether soaring above a winding trail or kneeling beside a blooming wildflower.

Through gardens, images, and encouraging words, Glenn continues to sow seeds of hope, growth, and movement—for himself and for others ready to rediscover life outdoors.
