WHO WE ARE

Designer

Nicole Woodling

Founder and Creative Director


I am a Santa Cruz-based landscape designer with an ecological, whole-systems approach to my craft. I have Master’s degrees in environmental science and conservation biology from U.C. Berkeley and U.C. Santa Cruz plus a background in art and design. From an early age I cared deeply for the environment and wanted to be a catalyst for meaningful change. Landscape design is a perfect confluence of art and science and allows me do my small part in creating a healthier world for our children. I enjoy nothing more than designing beautiful and sustainable outdoor spaces that connect people to the peace of nature.


Working with Nicole on my extensive landscape plan was a breeze. She listened to my concerns, gave me thoughtful choices, and executed the plan with no problems. Her follow-up has shown her commitment to the project. I am very happy with the results.
