Laying out Hidden Hollow (2010)

After growing up in the mountains of Vermont neighboring an organic farm and having an extensive garden of my own, an engineer for a father and a textile and stoneware designer for a mother, my childhood appreciation of plants, the natural world and design led me wholeheartedly to the field of landscape architecture.

A fresh graduate from Cornell University in 2004, I began working for Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates in Cambridge, MA, where I became intimate with the fine detail of projects at Wellesley College, worked solely with Michael on residential projects on Martha’s Vineyard, and became lead designer on the large-scale, programmatically and ecologically diverse Don River Park in Toronto. I brought my experience back to Vermont and started working for the fine design-build firm Shepard Butler Landscape Architecture in Thetford. I worked closely with clients, Shep and our crew to design and install numerous residential projects, some with pools and spas, others with simple native plantings and the Vermont vernacular of beautifully built and sited stone walls and terraces. I also began my own organic cut-flower business, Anna’s Blooms, to continue working our family land and to be involved in my local community. At the end of 2009, I joined Julie Moir Messervy Design Studio in Saxtons River where I had the opportunity to lead both public and private projects, from Hidden Hollow, a children’s outdoor classroom at Heritage Museum and Gardens, to highly personalized and innovative residential landscapes. I was awarded licensure in 2012 and continue to work with various firms and independently.

I believe that every landscape design project is a partnership between the true nature of a site, the designer, and the people who will enjoy and be stewards to it. I am dedicated to creating safe, pleasurable, timeless and engaging landscapes. Employing a purity of materials and proven methods, I also seek innovative solutions that combine beautiful design with ecological responsibility. I am a strong advocate for the use of native plants, to not only honor the environment but also to teach the public and contribute to the character of a place.

Cambridge, MA (2009-2012) SYNOPSIS: The leftover space around this environmentally advanced house was developed into a carefully imagined and personal landscape that is both innovative in material and form and a verdant refuge from city life. Curving steel walls not only allow accessibility around the site, but protect mature evergreen trees on the property edge and integrate water as a journey through the landscape. To strengthen visual and environmental impact, vertical gardens clad the concrete retaining walls, meadows are planted on the roofs, roof water is recycled, local materials were used and native plants were chosen.

Kansas City, MO (2010) SYNOPSIS: Working closely with Shepley Bulfinch Architects, we influenced the architecture of the chapel so that it was more integrated with its extending garden space to enable patients, visitors and staff to have a place of refuge. Rich materiality, luminous and audible cast glass and water features, dynamic lighting and protected and intimate sitting areas were the elements of this fully handicap accessible roof garden.

Heritage Museum and Gardens, Sandwich, MA (2010) SYNOPSIS: With six weeks until opening day, JMMDS was enlisted to take a diverse set of programmatic requirements from Arbor Day’s Nature Explore Classroom Program and create a journey through distinctive elements for Heritage Museum and Garden’s young visitors.

Using symbols in plan and detail (ex. Pinecone art and acorn building areas), the skills of a Chester chainsaw artist, and a native low pH plant palette, we developed whimsical, tactile outdoor classrooms with robust sensory pleasure and discovery for children ages 4-12, signage, ADA accessibility, connectivity to the larger campus and a unique identity.

DEAN RESIDENCE

Cambridge, MA (2010-2011) SYNOPSIS: Situated on a side street in the center of town, this modernized French country home required a landscape that strengthened its neighborhood presence while fulfilling the client’s desire to have an edible and floriferous garden with environmentally sensitive solutions. We created a mixed asparagus and cottage flower garden border, re-aligned stone walls to better organize the driveway, strengthened the front entry path, and recycled the concrete of the existing driveway for stepping stones along new paved drive strips among groundcovers.
