Designing Gardens Anywhere

During the pandemic, we had to learn how to work without being onsite. With the help of Google Earth and county records, we were able to continue designing gardens from Los Angeles. What began as helping friends across the country create safe, socially distanced outdoor spaces soon spread by word of mouth—and turned into projects in other states. Since then, we’ve designed gardens in Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, Wisconsin, California, and Washington.

Before the pandemic, we accepted projects outside of California, but always traveled in person. We were surprised at how well online design worked. In fact, one of the biggest benefits has been spending more time talking with clients about their needs and dreams. That extra time and attention has led to stronger projects—and meaningful connections.

Here are a few of the project we have created using this new fangled technology.
