AMY HITE specializes in modern sustainable landscapes, residential hobby farms and therapeutic gardens. For the past 15 years, Amy has helped homeowners rehabilitate their soil and connect to the land by creating fun, family-friendly gardens with a focus on outdoor activities. She has designed & installed pools, bocci courts, meditation labyrinths, potager gardens, chicken coops, orchards, native habitat restoration gardens, fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, bmx pump tracks, tree houses, and living roofs. All of her designs focus on regeneration and use sustainable materials and strategies to harvest water, reduce waste, and build healthy ecosystems. She believes that humans have an innate, deep connection with nature and good design can remind people of this important relationship.

Healing gardens include children’s gardens, edible gardens, senior gardens, sensory gardens, school gardens, meditation gardens, healing center gardens, rehabilitation gardens, and community gardens and natural play grounds.

“Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.” - Rumi

“Nature is a totally efficient, self-regenerating system. If we discover the laws that govern this system and live synergistically within them, sustainability will follow and humankind will be a success” - R. Buckminster Fuller
