FormLA LandscapingTo wander or wonder? That is the question! The decomposed granite trail wanders past fireworks of native blooms and cultivated cacti - yet the benches at its side offer an opportunity for stillness - perfect for birdwatching.
SCJ Studio Landscape Architecture - MontanaOn a historic ranch by a pristine fly-fishing river,
this mountain home integrates into its natural wild
surroundings. Sandstone paver paths wind through
grasses and colorful wildflowers while native river
boulders punctuate the gardens. Care was taken
to design this landscape for easy maintenance in a
harsh climate. Generous stone steps invite exploration
of the cool Montana evenings via paths that connect
to the larger ranch trail network.
Carmel Malone Landscape Designthis large block next to the residence was an unused space. The bike track begins at the rear of the main garden, crosses the seasonal creek to the multi use play area where the bikes can be parked. Grab a drink from the water bubbler after shooting some hoops or climbing on the equipment. Grab you bike and continue on the loop to the flying fox, over another bridge around a tight bend to the fire pit nestled half way down the embankment. The bike track forms a continuous loop with places to explore throughout the journey. Large boulders through the creek provide pedestrian access directly from the firepit to the play ground.
The planting plan takes you through different zones of indigenous planting adding to the diversity of the area.

Sweet Smiling LandscapesWhen the school garden teacher at my kid’s school asked if I would volunteer to design the schools learning garden I was excited by the prospect. I drew up some plans with hopes of inspiring the next generation to getting involved with stewardship of the land.
The goal was to create a space were children all abilities could have access to the process of growing food, tending to soils and recognizing the human connection with the natural world.
With an emphasis on edible plants, the garden also incorporates native plants, plants that attract pollinators and plants that build soil.
The garden includes a composting system, and a log circle to use as and out door classroom space. Unfortunately, half way through the installation of this garden the school was closed due to covid and no one was allowed on campus for 6 months. The garden fell into disrepair. As we slowly emerge from the pandemic the school is coming back to life and parent volunteers are allowed back on to campus. With that the garden is coming back as well. The rain harvesting nets and outdoor kitchen did not end up coming into reality. But through the pandemic we learned an even grater importance of outdoor class room space and the power of engaging with the outdoor world.
