Native & sustainable yard design

Planting plans built around species that already belong in this climate: less water, less maintenance, more life. Because these plants are adapted to the region's rainfall, soil, and seasons, the yard needs less intervention once it's established.

An example of temporal and spatial design: 2D and 3D modeling that maps what blooms where, and when, for year-round planning.

Consulting for homeowners & organizations

Site assessments and phased project guidance for anyone stewarding a piece of land, large or small. We walk the site with you, put recommendations in writing, and map out a budget-phased plan your team, landscaper, or volunteer crew can follow.

When your organization needs evidence to back a grant, we can help gather it. We design and carry out quantitative and qualitative data collection, from plant and pollinator surveys and site measurements to participant interviews, reflections, and story gathering, so your funding requests show both the numbers and the meaning behind your work.

Place-based mapping & community engagement

Getting to know a place means walking it. We trace and record routes around the region (forest tours, hikes, and observation walks) that help us read how water, plants, and people move through the land.

Some of the best learning happens outside, with soil on your hands and a story between neighbors. Our classes, guided walks, and storytelling tours invite people to notice what's growing and tell the story of a place across its past, present, and future.

For schools, nonprofits, teams, and community groups, we build custom walks, workshops, and volunteer events that advance your Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and make a tangible impact in our shared watershed.
