Brief

Livingroom Landscape takes a holistic approach. It reminds us we are all connected. Our design integrates intentional plantings for a range of seasons, light, and soil types. As well as incorporates functional site specifically designed pieces and hardscaping.

Concept

This concept is a direct reaction to the need for nurture and nature. We designed this garden to create an exchange between the space and those who engage with it. From those who are generally interested in gardening, by actively nurturing it, to those who want to harvest, observe, and/or relax there - A Livingroom considers the possibilities and welcomes you into it!

This garden is available as a personal sanctuary, a habitat for animals, a place for cultivating edible and medicinal plants, a collection of textures and colors of blooms that span over a  majority of the year, and custom design pieces. Our design also honors native plantings while weaving in potential plant solutions for climate change, and adverse or unexpected weather  patterns.
