Sacred Roots Farm offers a purposefully designed residence on a sustainable working farm to support sexually exploited and trafficked women and their children in finding trust, healing, and hope as envisioned by God. Participants gain self reliance and independence through paid labor on the farm, learning essential skills such as budgeting, daily chores, and social understanding.

Our goal is to provide outdoor places of healing for women and children who have escaped sex trafficking. This project delegates pasture land to improve self-sufficiency, creates a layered garden to teach participants about tranquility and growth, provides a chapel garden for spiritual connection, and crates nature trails to encourage independence.

To create the most pertinent design, our team researched the impacts of landscape design elements on those who suffer with PTSD. We found that enclosed spaces, select aromatics, and cool colors were key elements of crafting a healing space.

Three Oaks Park provides a space for recreation and community gathering for residents of the Merry Park neighborhood. 

The park has recently undergone a series of infrastructure improvements to address flooding issues, which has created an opportunity for landscape design to enhance the natural beauty of Three Oaks Park.

Our aim throughout this process was to a facilitate an ongoing collaboration effort with residents to understand the possibilities and initiatives of Three Oaks Park. A combination of feedback methods encouraged collaboration, resulting in a design for a more functional and welcoming Three Oaks Park.

The aim of this project was to develop a landscape design for Brightpaths, a nonprofit dedicated to preventing child abuse through supporting families. Our goal is to promote parent-child connection through landscape design. We aimed to design a low-maintenance landscape plan that leverages healing landscape and interactive playscape design to feel safe, fun, and beautiful for both children and caregivers.
