During our pilot season, we are stewarding a small number of private and shared spaces while exploring additional partnerships. Each site helps refine our approach to long-term land care.
Hilltop Nursery at the Homestead
Reclaiming our family's multi-tiered, overgrown landscape while building a working native nursery and testing long-term stewardship strategies.
Valley Park Portfolio Project
Converting a conventional residential yard into a living portfolio through seasonal observation and incremental change to match the land's needs.
High School Campus Beds
A collaborative campus landscape concept focused on native plantings, long-term stewardship, and educational value. This project is being explored through Master Gardener-supported efforts and serves as a learning environment rather than a commercial installation.
Golf Course Native Nursery & Garden Beds
An experimental on-site native nursery embedded within a working golf course - testing how underutilized edges and maintenance zones might support tree propagation, habitat value, and future restoration work across the course.
South Side Church Grounds
A faith-based landscape pilot exploring how underused church grounds can transition toward native plantings, seasonal stewardship, and community-supporting green space.
Willow Drive Partnership
A residential project focused on front-yard understory improvements, exploring a potential long-term plan to transition away from an unwanted species, and piloting the first Foster Tree Network concept.
Mayfair Drive Foundation Beds
A well-established and cared-for traditional Mt. Lebanon front yard with engaged homeowners, developing incremental improvements that strengthen beauty, resilience, and long-term ecological health.
Gypsy Lane Gardens
A full-trust, experimental landscape testing invasive ivy removal, native succession, recreational enhancement, and piloting Next Level concepts.
2026 is a focused pilot year. Seasonal postcards are the best way to follow along.
