Gardens for soulful rebels
LANDSCAPE DESIGN
To know the secret of life: life supports you when you choose to live your truth. To teach others about the secret of life is to make them conscious or aware (in general and in nature/gardening). Deep roots (grounding) in order to reach the limitless sky (to realize your dreams). To see the world upside down (nothing is as it seems) is the key to unlock truth, potential and wisdom. Out-of-the-box thinkers, empathic feelers. Those who dare to question our beliefs and the status quo.
The distinction between us and nature, it's a myth. It's a lie, actually. I see what this lie does with humanity. Turning your back to Mother Earth, which is our mother actually, has consequences. People start feeling depressed and empty. So to rediscover our roots in this world, which is the same as rediscovering nature within us and outside us, will heal us.
It's not about me. I'm just assisting to get someone to the place where I am, and that is a place of happiness. To guide someone in reconnecting to nature by building a beautiful garden where you can eat from, where you can pick flowers from, where you can hear, smell, and see nature in all its glory.

I design gardens and landscapes of joy, abundance, and prosperity.
Creating a movement, together
Creating gardens that complement both the surroundings and the owners is my specialty. It's like crafting a tailor-made landscape design with hidden surprises around every curve, mirroring the organic flow of nature, which rarely adheres to straight lines.
What is my landscape and garden design about?
-
Vegetable gardens, food forests, and ornamental gardens merge seamlessly into a holistic garden that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional, prioritizing color, texture, smell, and taste to create an immersive experience. Embracing the principle of planting where plants thrive naturally, this approach combines the innate beauty of nature with intentional design.
-
Guided by the collaborative efforts of nature and human intervention, every corner of the garden holds the promise of discovery and wonder. Through this process, individuals are reconnected with their natural state, fostering healing and rejuvenation.
-
As your guide, I leverage my deep understanding of nature and the human condition, cultivated through years of experience as a farmer, gardener, coach, and counselor. My expertise in design and plant knowledge ensures a harmonious integration of elements, creating a space where observation, intuition, and learning flourish.
