Robert Perks
Lead Consultant, Landscaper & Earth-Worker
With an expansive passion for living ecology, both in hands-on work and in academics, I approach each project as an opportunity to bring to life what I have come to know as true restoration. I am driven to problem solve, finding the meeting place between what is needed for the client and of the land. These approaches were part of ancient cultures who couldn't help but honor the whole in each landcare choice they made. We are all still downstream and my work aims to make sure we don't hide from that any longer.
Through careful attention to detail, each shovel full and rock moved can change the pathway of millions of gallons of water, allow the flowering of foods to feed countless pollinators, enrich the microbial network that will diffuse beyond the immediate property and create a space for people connect with nature close to home. This is regenerative work to me, we are all uplifted.
Kelly West
Landscape Designer & Plant Caretaker
The landscape design and care I offer comes informed from over a decade of plant-care experience that ranges from co-running an organic market garden, planting extensive landscapes, tending small home gardens and flower pots and everything in between.
These experiences pair with a love of design and art where I work with land as a living medium, dreaming into how the layers of colors, shapes and textures will evolve through the seasons and years. Drawing inspiration from the natural world around us, my work aims to honor the balance that can be felt in wild spaces, where the cultivation is simply a deeply cared for extension of the connected lands.
As a dynamic and collaborative process, the beauty is ever evolving and in response. It is a joy to tend spaces that are living connections between client's visions, my hands and the dirt beneath us both.
