Every Open Space Gardens project is built on a few key principles that make our work—and your results—stand out.

Four Ways We Create Gardens Worth Talking About

Garden design is about more than individual plants; it’s about crafting a connected ecosystem of plant communities that fit into the functional and aesthetic goals of property owners. Whether you want to eliminate a hard-to-maintain lawn that requires lots of chemicals, use less water and energy, create more habitat for birds and pollinators, or simply bring back plant communities to your yard that have evolved here for centuries, we’re ready to help. We design with purpose so your yard becomes easier to care for, better for the planet, and more healthy and beautiful for you.
