PNW Desert
Client: Tess & Chip | 2025 | Portland, Or.
Blending the serene spirit of the desert with the rich textures of the Pacific Northwest, this modern garden design offers a striking balance of natural elegance and regional resilience. Native and climate-adapted plants—chosen for their seasonal interest, form, and subtle movement—evoke a desert-inspired aesthetic while thriving in the PNW environment. A cool-toned peastone ground cover in light gray, softened with flecks of white and pink, sets the foundation with a refreshing, minimalist feel. Sculptural boulders and pots punctuate the landscape, creating visual rhythm and organic structure. With a harmonious palette of soft greens and silvery blues, accented by bursts of purple and yellow, this garden is a quiet sanctuary—thoughtfully wild, effortlessly modern.
