Doug on ‘transformations’.

“After 25 years of creating gardens and landscapes, I’ve learned that no two places are ever the same. Listening carefully to the site itself, as well as to the people I’m working with, is always the starting point.

When that is done with care, transformation begins to happen naturally. A place starts to find its own identity — and over time, as planting establishes and the landscape continues to change, that identity becomes richer still.”

A few before-and-after views of landscapes in transformation.
