Your Self-Care Sanctuary Awaits
We design vibrant outdoor spaces that fuel your spirit, calm your mind,

Your dream yard. Your sanctuary.
Your very own little corner of the world, filled with growth, wildlife, native species, and inspiration.
A meditative experience where you can…
Entertain friends and family in a backyard that feels wildly, proudly you
Practice your morning sun salutations among the flowers and in the sun (with your loyal companion lapping up fresh water from his doggie water fountain)
Savor your afternoon tea or matcha
Harvest your own fruits, veggies, and herbs for home-cooked meals
Become known as “the house with all the butterflies”
Just observe and enjoy the magical little world around you — the sustainable ecosystem YOU helped bring to life
And refocus on what really matters
It's all possible with the right guidance.
That's where we come in.

We do things differently.
We believe the aesthetics of your yard should mirror the conscious decisions you make every day. That’s why, when we approach your outdoor living design, we dig much deeper (pun intended) than traditional landscape design. Here’s how:
We prioritize the environment. And we mean everything, from the larger vision down to every little decision and design element. By integrating native plant species, organic materials, and sustainable furnishings and design practices, we create environments that harmonize with the natural world.
We design for wellness. We go beyond yard design; it’s about cultivating a space that fosters your happiness, health, and curiosity. We incorporate the practices of Ayurveda, Feng Shui, and Yoga.
We think local. We partner with local St. Pete and Tampa businesses that share our passion for sustainability and want to bring a little magic into your life.
We have a network of trusted partners. We wholeheartedly trust them to do quality work you’ll love.
