Tom Paine's common sense for uncommon landscapes.
I can help you create a fabulous garden.
With my help, your plot of land can plot your yearnings.
It is not about how much land you have, but about how much that land means to you, and how much of you is in the land. Sometimes the smallest sites can become the most deeply meaningful; sometimes the most unpromising spot can become the most sacred.
I created this web site, and within it a virtual garden, to showcase my vision of garden design. I believe my work stands apart from the mainstream and will convey to you some fresh scents-and a fresh sense-of what your garden could be. So please feel free to stroll about the grounds.
Along the way, connected to the garden through their own gates, are pavilions showcasing other projects, verbal and visual, that feed from the same well. I include them not to distract but to suggest that in helping you create the whole being of a garden, the designer's whole being should come into play. Let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy your stroll.
