I recently had the opportunity to create an entrance garden design for my yoga teacher. As I began the design process the question ~ “How do I create a garden for the person who opened my eyes and got me hooked on this infinitely beautiful and life changing practice?” Quite literally my design focus was to move/shift the space physically and emotionally. #1) Give the users of the hardscape elements room to move and breathe #2) Give the plants room to move and breathe (a blend of a swaying naturalized meadow and a part-shade woodland bio-swale habitat).
For the steps/pathway I specified Corteen steel frames filled with ¼- gravel. The steel frames were built by Daniel Beca (www.bacametal.com) who I am very excited to work with in the future. The landscape installation was by my buddies Mark & Dave with Fiddlehead Landscapes. The planting was a collaboration of Lisa Mae and her fabulous friends. Namaste!
