GARDEN STEWARDSHIP

We believe exceptional gardens are not maintained—they are cultivated, nurtured, and guided through their evolution. Our work is sophisticated in nature, blending ecological expertise with an eye for beauty. Our ideal clients seek a trusted partner who understands their land intimately and helps it flourish across seasons and years.

This is ongoing ecological stewardship that honors both the health of your landscape and its visual grace.

STEWARDSHIP APPROACH

Living Soil, Thriving Gardens

Every beautiful garden begins beneath the surface. Through seasonal soil health assessments, we track the biology metrics that matter—organic matter content, microbial activity, and nutrient cycling—creating custom amendment programs tailored to your land's specific needs. We cultivate the soil food web using targeted composts, mycorrhizal inoculations, and living mulches that build fertility and resilience over time.

Plant Health Intelligence

Our team reads landscapes. We identify stress before it becomes crisis, understanding the subtle signals plants offer about water, nutrients, light, and competition. Through plant health diagnostics and proactive interventions, we ensure your garden's vitality from roots to canopy.

Beauty Through the Seasons

Gardens are living compositions that shift and evolve. Through seasonal styling sessions, we assess color palettes, textural interplay, and architectural structure—refining the aesthetic as the garden matures. Our bed curation process makes thoughtful decisions about what stays, what moves, and what's added, always guided by your garden's developing character.

Climate-Responsive Design

We help you future-proof your landscape through strategic species selection and soil improvements that build drought resilience and adapt to changing weather patterns. Each season builds on learnings from the last, creating continuous improvement cycles that make your garden stronger and more beautiful over time.

The Long View

Through succession planning, we help you understand your garden as a multi-year narrative—anticipating how young plantings will mature, planning for gradual transitions, and orchestrating intentional transformations that unfold over seasons and years.

OUR SERVICES

Our work is rooted in the belief that the most beautiful gardens are also the healthiest—that vibrant color, graceful form, and lush growth emerge naturally from soil that's alive, plants that suit their regional climate, and stewardship that's both knowledgeable and attentive.

How We Work

We offer two levels of stewardship, each designed as an annual partnership rather than transactional visits. Our rates are tailored to your property's size, complexity, and specific needs and reflect the depth of expertise, ecological knowledge, and aesthetic sensibility we bring to your landscape.
