What We Do
Our mission is to design and support healthy, resilient landscapes that engage people with nature.
Dream it.
It all starts with a conversation about what challenges you are facing in your landscape and how you would like to interact with your space. From there, a consultation is set up on-site in order to help clients of all kinds gain more from their outdoor spaces.
Design it.
Our methodology incorporates principles of landscape architecture, permaculture, organic and biodynamic farming and holistic landscaping. Our designs incorporate native, edible and medicinal plants that support biodiversity and landscape health.
Build it.
We act as a project manager for installations and coordinate with local contractors, so you can bring your design to life with our budget-conscious approach to installing your landscape. We have plans to further support further learning. Sign up for our blog for practical and seasonal tips.
Community-based design
If you are interested in what community-based design looks like, have a look at our project for the Urban Food Forest at Brown’s Mill. Community-based design is a powerful way to engage stakeholders in the re-imagining process as well as the care-taking of the space. Let us know if you have any questions as to how this works!

What our clients have said
“Overall, we had a great first season in our new garden. We loved all of the herbs and perennials that you selected for the beds around the garden. We had butterflies and lots of bees visited us all summer. The fountain has been a great feature too. Our friends/family also thought the plan turned out great. We are definitely looking forward to working with you again. Thanks so much!”
— Lindsay Hodgson, Home gardener, Decatur
“Thank you so much for a wonderful volunteer experience at Sugar Creek Garden. I was talking to the volunteers during our reflection afterwards, and we all agreed that we had learned a lot from you. Thank you for taking the time to show us around. We really enjoyed working in the garden with you!.”
— Shyama Appareddy, Coordinator with Volunteer Emory
“We continue to receive so many compliments on your work – from family, friends, neighbors, and residents of the building. The bees love it too. We can’t thank you enough!”
— Wycliff Condominiums, Atlanta
“It was my pleasure to work with Lindsey for more than two years when she was the garden manager at Sugar Creek Garden. At SCG, Lindsey did an impressive job of organizing a combination of local groups and neighbors to produce a diversity of vegetables, flowers and medicinal plants. Lindsey’s knowledge, leadership style and teaching skills made volunteering at the garden something that I looked forward to. It was a place where I met like minded people in the community, had a lot of fun, learned much, and shared in a bountiful harvest of local grown, organic and biodynamic produce. Today I feel much gratitude toward Lindsey for igniting my interest in gardening which has led to starting a front yard vegetable garden at my own home.”
