After and Before of a NE patio upgrade. The pandemic has really brought so many people into their outdoor spaces like never before. Valuing a sense of place, building sanctuary and beauty at home. I’m so lucky to be a part of that good work. #prideandjoylandscapes #sanctuarygarden #home

Summertime gardens for me mean plenty of pollinator-friendly plants that accompany my veggies and fruiting plants. It’s dry out there but beauty still abounds everywhere. #prideandjoylandscapes #summergarden #bushgardenspdx

Nature is hard at work over here at Bush Gardens PDX. Hyper local honey harvest is in the works! #prideandjoylandscapes #pollinatorgardens #pdxgardens #honey #bees

NW after and before of a little overgrown patio that we brought back to life! This one will really pop once she fills in a bit. This client wanted a simple, bright hang out spot for herself and her pups. Stone patio was weeded and had steppable ground over added to keep it feeling soft but low maintenance. Existing rock walls reorganized to allow for an extra seating area in the yard. Two trees for shade and privacy along with a ton of colorful bird/butterfly/hummingbird friendly plants. #upgrade #buildhabits #pnwgardening #prideandjoylandscapes

The end and the beginning of a NO MORE LAWN transformation. All natives (or variations) went into this bright little front yard and only one month later the clients report seeing TONS of new bird species, butterflies, hummingbirds, ladybugs and more. If you build it, they will come! #prideandjoylandscapes #pnwnatives #habitatgarden

It’s so hard to capture how steep and tricky this project site has been but look at the progress!! Transforming a NW slope from an inaccessible, invasive-filled mess into a terraced, family friendly, native paradise! Using sustainable juniper wood planks, a hügelkulter (a technique for transforming woody debris into plantable berms), and a HUGE amount of person power to access this slope thru 6 FLIGHTS of steep stairs. This project is gonna go down in my books as a tremendous success. Go team!! #prideandjoylandscapes #sustainablewoodnw #juniperwood #hugelkultur #pnwgardening #gardendesign

Winter has so many secrets to share. Noticing the little beauties helps me through the colder, shorter days. Bonus: my special fire-tender in their “safety first” outfit :) #prideandjoylandscapes #wintergarden #pnwgardening

After + Before from a lovely NE Portland design/ install. These folks were wanting to transform their narrow yard spaces into little nooks and hangout areas. The challenges: transforming a functioning driveway into a patio and breakfast spot. Compact new construction soils and areas of mud and standing water. We used drivable pavers cut with curves and cut outs for steppable plants to soften the space. Added crushed gravel walkways lined with colorful plants that soak up moisture and created intentional paver walkways to help easily navigate through the space. Still to come is a rolling privacy gate along the back fence, arching trellis’ and vines. With a simple jewel-toned plant palette this one will really pop in the summer! Thanks to @greenherongardens for a great project! #prideandjoylandscapes #gardendesign #pnwgardening #circlepatio #drivewaypatio

Lovely SW Portland install getting close to completion! This couple and their young kiddo dreamed of re-creating their large, steep corner lot to be a haven for outdoor play, entertaining, sun and shade hangout spots and increased habitat for all-humans and critters alike. On a somewhat limited budget these folks opted to do all the planting themselves and spent hours cutting log rounds to be used for various aspects of their design. They were also open to unique features for moving around the space (notice the stair/slide combo, and not pictured here a climbing wall up a large pine tree, large logs for play/habitat/land retention all in one!) This family was a joy to collaborate with and are now playing, planting, eating and chilling all over their yard in style. #prideandjoylandscapes #gardendesign #wildlifehabitat #slide #outdoorliving
