A shade garden built around a still reflecting pool, with over forty species of native fern and woodland perennials.
Boutique Landscape Design & Build
We design layered, living landscapes rooted in native planting, honest materials, and the quiet rhythm of the seasons — spaces that grow more beautiful every year you live with them.

01 — Services
Three ways we work with clients. Most gardens begin with design and stay with us for years of seasonal care.

Site study, concept sketches, and a fully detailed planting and materials plan — shaped around how you actually want to live outdoors.

Our own crew builds every garden we draw: stonework, terraces, water features, and planting placed by hand, one specimen at a time.

A gardener who knows your garden by name. Thoughtful pruning, editing, and replanting that lets the design mature as intended.

02 — The Studio
Wild Fern began in a converted greenhouse with two designers, a pickup truck, and a conviction that the best gardens look as though they were always meant to be there.
Today we're a team of eleven — designers, horticulturists, and craftspeople — and we still take on only a handful of new gardens each season. That limit is deliberate. It means the person who sketches your plan is the same person on site when the first tree goes in.
“We don’t impose a garden on a place. We listen until the place tells us what it wants to become.”
Regionally native plants that feed pollinators and need far less water.
Reclaimed timber and local stone, set by our own craftspeople.
Designed for year ten, not just opening day.
03 — Selected Work
A few favorites from the past few seasons — each one shaped by its site, its soil, and the people who call it home.

A former lawn reborn as a living prairie that hums with bees from May to October.

Three tiers of raised beds and a warm stone patio, designed for cooking straight from the garden.

“They turned a muddy, forgotten backyard into the room we live in all summer. Every season it surprises us with something new.”
“The design process felt like a conversation, not a sales pitch. The finished garden looks like it has been here for decades.”
“Our stewardship gardener knows every plant by name. Three years on, the garden is fuller and healthier than ever.”
