Good landscape design addresses your needs within the constraints of the environment, but the quality sought for any garden should be that of enchantment.
How do we create enchantment – a nourishing place for body, spirit, mind? How do we marry form and function, beauty and artistry with nature in any given space?
Let’s talk about your project, ideas, dreams, needs & parameters. Feel free to give me a call, text or Whatsapp anytime.
I live in El Pescadero and work with a crew from La Paz, BCS, Mexico
My own design aesthetic is based on a practice that has evolved over four decades ~
exploring a range from formal English landscapes, Moorish and Mediterranean garden designs, Japanese design aesthetics, wilderness and the elemental nature of Baja California itself.
I grew up in London, England, studied landscape and architecture, and am a draftsman, designer and gardener. I spent several decades across Spain, Asia and the Californias ~ North and Baja Sur.
The old Iranian word pairidaeza refers to a walled orchard, garden or enclosed hunting park ~ a calm, sheltered retreat from the outside world… water channels and fountains may cool the arid air. Fragrant flowers offer vibrant colour. Elegant trees offer shade and fruit. If Paradise derives from such an elemental, idyllic place, then that is what we strive to create, consulting the Genius loci to inspire a garden congruent, but unique within the given environment.
