Seasons Garden Design LLC turns your property into a garden that inspires you, feeds you, relaxes you, and improves your carbon footprint. Here in the Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA region, we design gardens tailored to each owner’s circumstances, site, dreams and wishes. The time is now to design a garden for installation later this season.

"There is emerging medical evidence that the aesthetic end of landscaping turns out
to be founded on medical reasons. You will feel better emotionally in a garden."
John Stilgoe, professor, Environmental Studies, Harvard University

 

Here's how our services benefit you:

 

 

 

 

 

back

  • Our garden designs promote bio-diversity and sustainability through the use of native and drought-tolerant plants. The birds and the bees do the rest.
  • Gardens respond to the times. Need time to relax? Want healthy food? Our landscape designs respond to you.
  • landscape design services follow your wishes, not what a  design/build contractor has leftover from a previous client.
  • If your environment is out of sync, so are you. We promote design harmony between home and garden. 
  • Our landscape designs are innovative, practical, and client-specific. If you like to laugh, we’ll design fun into your garden.
  • AutoCAD-generated garden plans are easy to email during the landscape design process. See them anywhere, even Timbuktu.
  • As a 30-year design professional, Vanessa has a curiosity about gardens and landscaping around the world. This means she is brim-full of ideas for your garden.
 

"We could not be more pleased with the work Vanessa did for us. She
individualized our garden to reflect us, and that is exactly what we wanted!" 
Sharri, Vancouver, WA

"Her innovative solutions to problems, strong artistic capabilities and
diplomatic demeanor make her an asset to any project.”  
 
Joyce, Tucson, AZ.

  Discover the top 5 for each of these:

 

We plan stunning, four-season gardens. Use evergreen trees, winter-flowering shrubs, colorful berries, garden art, garden lighting in your landscape. Use a greenhouse during the winter to extend gardening time.

 

We design edible kitchen gardens. Include a fence with gate & an arbor around your edible plants. We select & layout herbs, vegetables, fruit trees, shrubs, heirloom seeds, & annuals with flowers to lure beneficial insects.

 

We extend living spaces into gardens with a patio, deck, fountain, planters, garden furniture, and more. Add a gazebo or pergola to help harmonize your home & garden with a livable backyard.

 

Using native plants, drought-tolerant design, rain gardens, shade trees, organic landscape care, water features and more, we improve curb appeal sustainably. Consider low-mow lawns & native flowers.
