From the street, a round rock pathway leads to a small seating area next to the water with a small fire pit. Low maintenance, drought resistant and salt tolerant plantings were used in mass and clumps. This garden has become the focus of the neighborhood with many visitors stopping and enjoying what has become a neighborhood landmark. Located on the shores of Puget Sound in Washington State.

My garden was Sapna Bagh which translates to “garden of dreams”. It is an eclectic garden that attempts to represent the joy of coming home & immersing yourself in your carefully curated space.⁠ Brimming in the moods, colours & textures created by your very own collection of plants, heavily influenced by your cultural origins, travels & interests. ⁠ ⁠It’s a garden style that’s bold, uniquely you, fun & exciting to experience every time you’re in the garden, every season!⁠ The design uses plants in different ways to create a living artwork, i.e. akin to a painting or sculpture in a gallery. It evokes the senses & creates an emotional response to the curation.⁠ There is a lot of detail & thought that goes into planning a garden and one which uses layers of hidden elements of symbolism which I’m finding underrepresented in design practice in residential spaces (given the heavy focus on practicality and aesthetics). For example, this garden incorporates a “living” horse sculpture with several meanings. At one level, the horse represents the spirit of joy, adventure and wonderment, but it also links to a personal connection with this majestic creature as my spirit animal. ⁠It also aligns with my /(cultural) zodiac sign. The horse, in many cultures, embodies a sense of independence &adventure, which extends to this garden via the plant selection representing the bountiful forms, textures and beauty existing in nature to explore and experience! ⁠ ⁠⁠The colours red, yellow & blue nod to some of my cultural roots whilst adding to the cheer, elevating my thoughts and life outlook! I’m celebrating that I’m a plant collector for an excellent reason!⁠

Plongé au coeur d'un jardin d'ombre, protégé par la présence d'un majestueux érable, le visiteur s'émerveille des jeux de textures, des contrastes et des associations végétales qui se révèlent progressivement à lui. Dynamisé par une imbrications des espaces à vivre et des niveaux topographiques, ce jardin contemporain puise ses racines dans des matériaux et des végétaux subtilement associés : pavés parisiens, bois exotique, fougères arborescentes...

Our client wanted to improve curb appeal at the front of their home and create a few focal points in the backyard. It was also critical that the new landscaping features be easy to maintain, as the homeowner has mobility issues. We added raised flower beds with Navascape wallstone retaining walls that complimented the home’s exterior. We installed an additional flower bed around the backyard shed and created a focal point with a tree and additional small flower bed.

A very small backyard where space was at a premium. Our client wanted a sitting area with fire pit and low maintenance was a priority. We designed a simple stamped concrete fire pit patio that butted up to the corner of the yard and used beautiful natural rock slab step stones to carry from the lower walkout patio to both the fire pit patio and the Rundle side yard. Black mulch and some nice plantings rounded out the project. Easy and clean!!

A single gabion, carefully filled with limestone, references the dry stone walls found in the Peak District, but keeps the feeling modern. The light grey is a great foil for the deep red of the chocolate cosmos (Cosmos atrosanguineus 'Chocamocca' to give it its full name)

Trough style planters were used to add colour and greenery to a paved area and to help disguise a shed. These climbing plants will twine up the mesh creating a fragrant screen or mauve.

Kunden var inte nöjd med sin entrérabatt. Den kändes rörig och ostrukturerad. Där fanns mycket blommor, några hon tyckte om och några hon inte ville ha kvar. Jag fick i uppdrag att göra en ny växtkomposition. Några växter sparades, några flyttades och några adderades. Resultatet blev en långblommande rabatt som blommar i mycket blått i maj-juni för att sedan gå över till mer rosa och vinröda toner i augusti-september.
