Meet the Team!

Rooted in Restoration. Guided by Nature. Committed to Connection.

At Living Spaces Gardening, our team is made up of ecologically-minded designers, restoration specialists, and lifelong learners. We don’t just design gardens — we study systems, observe nature, and let the land lead.

Our work is grounded in service over sales. We’re not trying to be everything for everyone — and we’re totally okay with not being your cup of tea. We provide thoughtful, niche services for those who value conservation, mutualism, and long-term ecological healing.

🌊 How We Work

We approach each project with observation before action, and with deep respect for what still survives. We know that Florida has already lost more than we’ll ever fully understand — 92% of uplands, major water systems, and countless unseen interconnections.

That’s why we study what's still here. We learn from the wild, then design with nature’s blueprint — not in opposition to it.

Our goal?
To maximize ecological space, restore what’s been damaged, and create self-sustaining systems that don’t depend on endless human input.

We plan for our own obsolescence — because when the ecosystem thrives on its own, we've truly succeeded.

🌼 A Team That Serves, Not Sells

We’re here to serve, to educate, and to co-create. Our clients share our values, and we prioritize fit over volume. If that means we’re not right for everyone, that’s okay.

Because the work we do is not just landscaping — it’s living restoration.
