Design

Inspired by the wisdom of natural systems, we offer work with clients who want to affect positive environmental change right in their own backyard.

Whether you’re looking for a few raised vegetable beds surrounded by a palate of drought-tolerant native plants, or a food-forest that yields an abundance of fruit and nut crops year after year, we turn your goals into a design that fits your site and budget.  We work with the unique challenges and opportunities afforded by your site to create a plan that speaks to your vision. Our designs offer a unique opportunity for you to heal the environment, starting right outside your door.

Our designs provide many practical and ecological benefits, including:

• Yielding food, herbs, medicine, and other useful products.
• Building soil and biodiversity.
• Creating stimulating, educational, and safe playspaces for children, free of toxic chemicals.
• Reducing your ecological footprint, while increasing self- and community-reliance.
• Deepening your connection with the Earth.
• Requiring less maintenance.
• Creating wildlife habitat in your backyard.
• Having lower long-term costs.
• Conserving and harvesting water.
• Increasing property value, financially and otherwise.
