About Us

We are plant people dedicated to creating gardens that use California’s 6,500 species of native plants to beautify and restore Los Angeles to its past beauty.

Our gardens sequester carbon, utilize minimal imported water, provide habitat for birds, bees and pollinators, store rainwater and evoke a unique sense of place that cannot be found in a traditional turf landscape.

Jake Palumbo

Principal & Owner

My name is Jake! I am originally a transplant from the East Coast, but once I settled in California and began hiking its vast, beautiful trails, I fell in love with this magical place.

I became a Licensed Landscape Contractor to try and bring the beauty of the mountains and meadows that I’ve walked down into the city for all of us to enjoy. I believe connecting humans to California’s unique landscape results in healthier humans as well as a healthier world.
