WHIRLIGIG STUDIO

Whately, Massachusetts

Our client, a dedicated yoga instructor, needed the garden outside her studio to soothe and center her students during their practice. Creating tranquility was vital here, so we kept the palette limited to green, white, cream, with hints of chartreuse to bring light into the space. Striking foliage is the focal point in this garden, which allows it to remain interesting despite the subdued color palette. A variety of ferns link the more cultivated part of the garden to its natural woodland backdrop.

Highly visible from within the studio, the garden allows minds to contemplate, wander, and meditate during a grounding practice.
