ABOUT ME

Kris Domingo

Founder and Garden Designer

My enthusiasm for breath-taking gardens runs deep as I was raised by gifted gardeners who were fanatical about year-round floral abundance and wildlife interaction.

The gardens of my youth were swoon-worthy wonderlands of nature, brimming with beauty but more significantly, flowing with peace.

I learned early on that a family garden was a magical place where eyes soften and souls rest.

As a garden designer, I long to create opportunities for others to know this feeling by designing nurturing, restorative spaces that give back on multiple levels:

FUNCTIONALITY + USEABILITY + BEAUTY ARE VITAL

In this new era of pandemic living, I feel strongly about maximizing fresh-air square footage by designing creative living spaces that are functional, beautiful and inviting. More than ever, outdoor gathering spaces that offer inhabitants peace and ease are the new must-have.
Whether you’re a family of one or ten, I believe in forward-thinking designs that will serve a clients needs now and in the future.

GROW YOUR HEALTH

I believe that a steady supply of healthy food is a level of richness that everyone deserves. With four growing seasons in California, Bay Area residents have an excellent opportunity to yield boundless value from their homes, far beyond the vanity of curb appeal. Layering in edible raised garden beds and enjoying organic nutritious foods from your own backyard is a smart way to get more from the land you live on. Edible gardens are invaluable way to increase vitality and multiply family feel-good experiences.

NATURE TV

As a nature junkie, I believe in designing garden spaces that are naturalistic and irresistible to native wildlife. In support of local bees, butterflies, birds and beneficial insects, I strive to offer a little something for everyone, including food and water sources. If you long for interactive garden experiences with nature, I can help make that dream a reality.

TESTIMONIALS

Working with Kris on three different residential projects throughout the years has been a phenomenal experience. From designing, choosing and placing plants in both my back and front yard to assisting me with my first thriving vegetable garden, Kris has transformed my outdoor space. Her thoughtful choice of finding trees and plants that are beautiful and fragrant has made me appreciate spending time in my front and backyard. She created masterpieces with succulents in pots and placed special flowering plants to really give pops of color and light in all the right places in my yard. Her passion for plants, her ability to listen to her client's needs and educational qualities are what makes her different from all other landscape designers! I can't wait to start our next project together!
