Alison Shadwell-Williams

California and beyond

My design philosophy emphasizes creating biodiverse, sustainable, and organic gardens that address climate change, firescaping, promote ecological harmony, and foster a sense of community. I like to focus on client-centered design, actively integrating their vision with modern practices to create functional and beautiful spaces. By prioritizing native plants, pollinator-friendly features, and water-wise techniques, my work supports thriving ecosystems and shared environments. Combining aesthetic excellence with sustainability, my gardens enhance the natural beauty of each site while inspiring connection and collaboration.



Biography:
