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 sense, imagine, design, draw, create pollinator South Florida gardens ( and other places: Bahamas, Brazil, Mexico , Guatemala, South of France) for wonder and play.

Our Multidimensional - multi- cultural -multi- generational knowledge of ecology, garderning, architecture, horticulture, foods, philosophy, art/s , ethics, and our resourceful collaborations with plant and tree growers, arborists, landscapers, plant collectors, field biologists, architects, stone masons, , carpenters, soils specialist, artists, lighting designers, inform the deep craft of our practice and botanic intuition. The ethics of care is a devotion of out practice.
