FOR THE LOVE OF PLANTS…

I design living spaces

Which is a fancy way of saying that I paint the landscape with plants. This is a delightful responsibility. The garden is, after all, a planned ecosystem. It is an aviary and insectary, providing fruit and nectar, forage and seed. It is about soil and sun, air and water, but also color, form, and fragrance. gardens should be a beautiful, curated collection of plants. They create the setting, alter its mood, describe a place. gardens have their own personality. Some are riotous, others subdued, but all are teeming with living, breathing, buzzing energy.


A good garden is a celebration of life.

 

FOR THE LOVE OF STONE…

 

I CONNECT THE GARDEN TO THE EARTH…

Stone is how we ground the garden, how we link it to its past and its future. It is the most enduring feature we offer to our landscape. So its design, its selection, its placement, its integrity are all as important as the garden itself. Stone is the natural counterbalance to all that is green, to that which lives.

STONE is not in the garden, it is the garden
