Not to brag or anything...buuut...

And for only $600 I can buy $50 worth of plaques to celebrate this achievement and post it on my office wall for me to drool over for the rest of my life. 😅🤣😅

My office this week, working on a landscape design for a retreat center under construction in Dabob Bay, Washington. Couldn't have asked for sweeter clients or a sweeter project to be involved in. Grateful for this opportunity. Always looking for projects where the focus is on slowing down, getting back to nature, connecting with self and connecting with others. Contact me if you have a similar project in mind!

Another winter favorite...red-twig dogwood. Oooohwheee!

These Wilma Goldcrest Monterrey Cypress trees are really spectacular on these sunny winter days. Great way to add winter pizazz to your winter landscape. Guaranteed to cure Seasonal Affective Disorder...Plus their foliage emits a lemon-lime scent when you rub your hands across it.**

Grateful to get to help feed peoples' souls and connect them with the natural world...this project turned out aaaalright. From eyesore to sanctuary in less than 90 days. Finished last summer, came back yesterday to check up on things and make sure plants and clients are happy.

From a recent project. Homeowner retired from the Seattle Opera, so we included a 40" Wind Gong in her yard. Looks amazing as a main focal point in the garden and aligned to her main living room window. Wish I had captured the sound because it's amaaazing! Also, the nighttime lighting on it is equally amaaazing! Wish I had images of that too...

Saw the most intense tulip today. Anyone know the variety?

This fall color is breathtaking...Staghorn Sumac, Grace Smoke Bush, Vine Maple...many others out there too. I love fall!! Amazing that nature does this.

Love this rock wall! So beautiful. Wish I could say we did it.

Been too dang busy to post much. Did our first rock cairn as a focal point in a backyard recently! Just improvised with rocks we found back there as we were doing the demo. Here's pics...with the paths leading up to it. It's in the far upper back corner of the backyard. Meant to be a meditative space.
