LEAF & SPADE

02.06.26. Took some time away from the design desk to place my eyes on the beauty of northern New Mexico. Not sure if it was due to the chaos of these times, but I was moved to literal tears by an amazing drift of red willows. We still have a lot to still to learn about the ideas of harmony and community from nature.

12.27.25. We are fortunate as gardeners to be able to work with beauty and see our seasons change through it. Here are some pictures of our work cubicles from the last year. 🙂 Happy New Year!

11.30.25. Did you know that part of our design process includes the consideration of what the plants will look like in winter? Not all plants can stand up to the pressures of snow, but many can, and will keep your garden looking beautiful throughout the winter months. We create gardens with four seasons of beauty, and four seasons of benefit to nature.

Our model for this is nature itself!

02.25.25 Spring is on its way! Here at Leaf and Spade, we’ve been hard at work this winter designing gardens for our clients, and we can’t wait to get outside and begin making them a reality. We still have a few open spots on our design calendar, and would love to schedule a walkthrough with you to discuss your garden goals for the upcoming season. Visit our website for more info and to get in touch with us!

10.12.24 How great to spend time in a remnant prairie collecting seed to help the prairie flourish, to be outside with those who also savor this rare opportunity, and to see your son between the grasses with a bag-full of hopeful seeds, in the land the next generation can hopefully also enjoy. Gardening and stewardship is certainly about hope.
