Our Approach

We are dedicated to planting with purpose.

Vision

We believe in building relationships; with our clients, our community and with the plants and the soil we work with. The landscape industry is often unsustainable, exploitative and wasteful and we are here to disrupt it. We strive to be ethical in how we source materials, create habitat, and treat our staff and client community.

Sustainability

Sustainability starts with our business model: we pay fair wages, offer sick pay and vacation time, and other benefits such as a workwear stipend to all of our employees. We work with our client community to build long-lasting relationships. Sustainability is at the core of our gardening approach which is guided by the principles of permaculture.

Intentionality

Our goal is to create and maintain magical spaces that provide refuge and pleasure for humans and the other organisms we share our planet with. We take a thoughtful, site-specific approach to creating landscapes that are beautiful, resilient and deeply connected to the local ecology. We specialize in ecologically sensitive creative placemaking to create stunning habitat gardens that support native species, provide ecological services and enhance your enjoyment of your property.

Beauty

As the old adage says, true beauty comes from within. Our gardens are colorful, lush and vibrant, visually enjoyable and relaxing to be in. These plants are more than mere aesthetics, they are habitat: offering shelter and food to the non-human kin who rely on native plants to survive. We study each site's soils, hydrology, light, existing vegetation and surrounding ecological context to understand how it naturally wants to function, so it can welcome plant communities to support birds, beneficial insects and other pollinators, and create long-term solutions to improve soil health, manage water responsibly and evolve gracefully over time. It becomes a place that gives more than it takes.
