La Casona Garden, is a full scale landscape design-build-studio dedicated to creating generative gardens for living and dwelling. A multidisciplinary mother-(twin)daughters, garden design atelier situated as a South Florida (sub) tropical botanic garden/research/ studio/ kitchen/live plant- library/HOME. A full -scale practice of landscape design/ garden-making, research and teaching, dedicated to creating generative landcapes in close proximity to natural habitats : a deep regard and dedication to planting South Florida native plants - to create a sense of place for co-existence with our companion species; Psyche-delic, multidimensional, trans- disciplinary, reimagining our interconnectedness through multiple perspectives, traces, memories and practices. Designs are carefully elaborated in collaboration with plants, fauna, stones, beings, places, crafts, terrestrial companion species/inhabitants. A restorative ecological practice, alchemy and botanic poetics of place making, for being-and-dwelling. Plant anamnesis : to the plants themselves! The research ethos of our work, the plasticity of our practice alongside the diverse trajectory of our ancestral- life-destiny in synchronicity with various disciplines calls us to imagine, plan, create and plant pollinator gardens in myriads of places to wonder and play.
We are where we inhabit. Our Multidimensional - multi- cultural -multi- generational knowledge of ecology, garderning, architecture, the horticultural industry and our resourceful collaborations with plant and tree growers, arborists, landscapers, plant collectors, field biologists, stone masons, , carpenters, soils specialist, lighting designers, irrigation techs , artists, inform the deep craft of our practice and botanic intuition.
