I work at the intersection of design, horticulture, culture, and systems—helping people and institutions think clearly, act deliberately, and create lasting impact.

Last week, Rochelle wrote about Japanese gardens and included some gorgeous images from Martha Stewart Living. I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge fan of this style of gardening and landscapes that are inspired by the idea. That being said, I was pretty excited to find this project earlier today by a company out of Brisbane called Cascade Garden Design. It’s an amazing transformation and one that’s much larger than the scale of most Before & Afters I post, but one can always dream, right?

Yeah. Pretty spectacular, isn’t it? I know– it doesn’t even look like the same space, but rest assured- I checked and double checked and it really is the same yard, shot from the same angle. Here I am wanting a pond,  while they’re hanging out and admiring their stream…a STREAM! With a bridge! Wow. This is one impressive transformation. Speaking of transformations, what are you doing around your own yard these days? Send us an email with a couple photos and you might just see your project here on Studio ‘g’! -erin
