Inspired by nature, wild places, and plants themselves, we strive to design gardens that consider and cultivate a connection to the natural landscape. When created with care, gardens can function both aesthetically and sustainably – they can benefit people, as well as the greater ecosystems we belong to. This ethos governs our approach to design. By applying our expertise to promote biodiversity, preserve habitat, and foster dynamic relationships with nature, we have an important opportunity to leave the land richer than we found it.

Plants are central to our garden design; they are the medium through which we evoke a sense of the natural world. With respect and reverence for the inherent beauty of native landscapes, it is our goal to try and mimic these living systems. Wherever possible, we utilize materials found on site as key components of our designs, anchoring our gardens to the land they are created upon, and reducing construction inputs. As horticulturists, our designs are informed by a deep knowledge of plants, their natural habitats and communities, and their ecological function. Accentuating what makes each plant wonderful and unique is not only our approach, but also our passion.

Our name is a shape, an aesthetic, and a metaphor for our philosophy. Serpentine curves embody the organic patterns of nature: repetition, rhythm, undulation, and change. They force us to slow down and notice the details. They imply an immersive experience – a journey – a sense of wonder and discovery. Like a winding path or a meandering river, our gardens aim to engage our senses and enrich our minds.
