Sustainability is an integral part of every project I undertake. Time spent outdoors and engaged with nature has proven benefits for well-being, and meaningful connections to our landscapes often inspire more environmentally responsible choices. Garden design offers a unique opportunity to support both people and the planet through thoughtful, intentional decisions.

Throughout the design process, I aim to maximize positive environmental impact while minimizing potential harm. This may include:

​

• Planting trees to capture carbon and provide natural cooling

• Selecting locally grown, site-appropriate plants that support pollinators and wildlife

• Incorporating permeable materials to manage and slow stormwater runoff

• Using mulches to retain moisture and suppress weeds

• Designing planting schemes that work in harmony with existing soil and water conditions

​

Sustainability does not have to be all-or-nothing. Even small, considered choices can add up to meaningful change, and I am committed to integrating sustainable practices into every garden, at every scale.
