We design gardens that nurture life

Late summer brings a special brilliance to this home in Seattle's Washington Park hillside neighborhood. While only a year old, plantings in this botanic-level design have filled in with astonishing vigor, weaving together layers of texture, color, and form. Every view reveals a new combination of hues, textures, and subtle contrasts.

Thalictrum ‘Black Stockings’, or Meadow Rue, is a little-known perennial with big personality. Rising four to six feet when in bloom, it is a striking addition to mixed perennial borders and meadow gardens. Rich in pollen, it is a great choice if you’re hoping to attract pollinators.

Graphically, the gardens read beautifully from all angles, and make it impossible to forget you are witnessing a living, breathing, evolving piece of art.

As part of Leach Botanical Garden’s dynamic transformation, the upper meadow is being reimagined as the Wandering Woodland—a temporary yet impactful space for families and children to explore, play, and connect with the natural world.

In 2023 and 2024 Land Morphology volunteered our services to create a memorial garden for the Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest (CSNW) near Cle Elum, Washington.  The Chimpanzee Memorial Garden plan offers CSNW staff and guests a peaceful place of gathering and reflection.
