We design thriving outdoor spaces that nourish you and support the land. From abundant kitchen gardens filled with edible and medicinal plants to regenerative landscapes that restore soil health and attract pollinators, our work blends beauty, functionality, and ecological care. Our approach integrates native and climate-adapted plants, water-wise practices, and seasonal rhythms to create gardens and landscapes that provide food, habitat, and resilience.

I initially hired Natalie to design a greywater system in 2015 and have been working with her ever since. Natalie has designed and installed our 2,000 gallon rainwater system, a laundry-to-landscape system, and a shower branched-drain system for us. She’s also provided invaluable consulting and design support for my edible garden over the years.
