It's not every day you get to sit inside a $100,000 amythest crystal! Feeling the earth magic. Amazing! @livinggreendesign #landscapedesign #plantsmakepeoplehappy

I started making my wreaths today and this one turned out almost as big as me. All materials are sourced from my garden (leucadendrons, succulents etc) or the open space right next door (redwood, cotoneaster, eucalyptus etc). It always amazes me how many colors and textures can be found in a half mile radius and how gorgeous they are when combined in this way. Also amazing is that I finally found a good purpose for the most useless invasive plant of all time - Privet. The ber...ries (that I have cursed many times over while sweeping and removing germinated seeds everywhere) are an incredible purple that adds a whole new color dimension into my wreaths! . . . #holidaywreath #craftsfromnature #naturalmaterials #beautyinnature #texture See more

This project was one of the more fun and interesting I've worked on from a learning perspective. Total dune restoration going on here! Plants still have a lot of growing to do but I'm really happy with how everything looks. What an improvement.

Want to know something funny? We finished this project a few weeks ago and people are literally stopping and taking photos multiple times a day. I mean, it's super beautiful and all, but might this have something to do with COVID-induced boredom? Sooooo many people taking photos that it's actually starting to bother the folks who live here! PSA: don't make your house too nice or random hoardes will stalk you. And as I always say...if you think it looks good now, wait until the plants grow in! . . . #gardendesign #modernlandscape #contemporarylandscape #beachhouse

I took a new project in Carmel and I could hear the waves crashing at the beach the whole time I was talking to my client! I *had* to stop at the beach afterwards and eat my breakfast and do a quick little painting. I was so glad I did! . . . .... #relax #watercolorjournal #oceanside #carmel #beachlife #pebblebeach #landscapedesign #selfemploymentrocks #illustratedjournal #watercolor #penandink #getoutside #fearlesscreativity See more
