CIVIC / CULTURAL Services
We are dedicated to public and community spaces and work closely with architecture firms, management companies, municipalities, organizations, community groups, and neighborhoods to improve the use, beauty, ease of care, and ecological health of large-scale shared and cultural sites.
RESIDENTIAL SERVICES
We love to design and consult on private residences, estates, and farms in the metropolitan New York Area as well as the greater Hudson Valley. Our residential designs create peaceful, beautiful and ecologically rich landscapes for all types of properties.
PRODUCTS & plant lists
Check out Design Wild products, including STAY WILD t-shirts, and Design Wild Plant Lists, including our favorite Native Shrubs, Pollinator Plants, Ground Covers, and Hedgerows.
Equity & Landscapes
We believe the magic of plants and access to green space is a human right, regardless of financial and/or economic standing. Every year, we work with community projects to expand that access.
To make our services affordable and continue to connect diverse audiences to the plant kingdom, we allow all our clients to support and contribute to this ongoing work. We ask clients to consider the privileges & historical systems present in their lives, including generational wealth, assets, systematic oppression, education, partner support, and network. If you can contribute additional funds, let us know; it will greatly help us to foster and support more projects within communities.
Past projects have included community participatory design processes, the development of community parks, urban farms, gardens for low-income housing, and so much more!
If you are a community project, a lower-income resident, or a historically marginalized group and would like access to our services for a reduced cost, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We can always find a way to assist.
