Design Oasis

Photo By David Fenton

I am a landscape designer, garden writer, teacher and activist with 30 years experience designing arid-adapted and native gardens in the high desert.

Plants are absolutely the heart and soul of my designs, but extraordinary gardens are much more than collections of plants.

The walls and arbors that enclose spaces, the walkways that connect them and the patios and porches where people gather create oases cooled, colored and perfumed by plants.
