My design process is born from understanding the existing relationships on the site — between human and land, soil, water, climate, geography, culture, meaning, and more-than-human species. Plants are at the center. They connect and express these myriad forces.
In collaboration with my clients, I aim to create gardens that are unfolding, evolving, and alive — beautiful tableaux of dynamic relationships, records of the seasons, revealing the great ecology of interconnectedness.
"Gardening is one of our wonderful primal animal acts. We harness the entropy of nature."
The work doesn't end at installation. Ongoing stewardship — reading the garden season by season, making adjustments, letting things surprise you — is where the real design happens. The garden is never finished. Never static.
