A wonderful Japanese-American client in Los Angeles asked for a landscape inspired by their great grandfather's garden in Manzanar. As a BIPOC designer, it is an honor to work with clients who want to imbue personal and cultural memory into their land. This is the chosen plan from 3 options. Moonya is creating a set of detailed pricing drawings now. Cannot wait to build this one.
Thank you @eriyamage for collaborating on this.
Architect: @pbernatz

Yes, you've seen this before; it's real. Druidess @pae.hannah created a vision of raptors, bobs, banana slutz, hellebores galore for an upcoming project nestled in the Redwoods. Redwoods grow in family circles and their roots span horizontally to keep everyone tight. Just like a chosen family. Moonya loves being inspired by the artists we know. Collaboration is connection dude. Thank you @pae.hannah

@eriyamage @avenuemateri created a diorama for a Japanese-American client who shared stories about their great grandfather's garden in Manzanar, their profession's healing practice of ceremony with medicinal plants, and Butoh: dance step: 舞踏.
Gardens are expressions of who we are and where we come from.

Winter in LA. Onggi Garden was installed April 2024 by @mezcla.landscape . Sages, toyon, cactus, achillea, jacaranda and Korean medicinal plants being who they are in December.
