Design Wild is transforming the city one green space at a time.
Design Wild works at the intersection of landscape design, people, and community well-being. Our private gardens, public projects, and urban farms bring the wild beauty of nature into designs that soften the city, improve ecosystems and inspire peace of mind for our clients and communities. Collaborating with individuals and groups across the city we develop collective vision, foster community and transform open space. Ultimately, we believe in building lasting connections through the transformative power of plants.

UPDATES FROM THE UNDERSTORY
OUR PROCESS
Phase 1: SITE VISIT
A designer will join you in your current or future garden to experience the space first hand. During the site visit you will discuss priorities, establish goals and develop a collaborative vision for the space.
Phase 2: CONCEPT DESIGN
After visiting the space, the designer will develop a layout for the project including visuals and basic plant suggestions.
Phase 3: DETAILED DESIGN
Incorporating your feedback on the initial concept, the designer will prepare a detailed garden design. This design illustrates exact locations, plant selections and features which can include hardscapes, furniture choices, elevations and more.
Phase 4: INSTALLATION
Whether installing the full garden scope in house, working with a variety of talented local craftsmen or coordinating with trusted contractors for larger scope projects, the Design Wild team will bring your garden design to life
GARDEN CARE
Routine visits from the Design Wild team will keep your garden vibrant, lush and inviting throughout the changing seasons.

"We feel so lucky to have outdoor space in NYC, but even more lucky that it is as beautiful as it is because of Design Wild. We entertain, relax, write, read and nap in our garden. It is a space that we and our children enjoy every single day and it is because of Design Wild."
