Edible Community Greenway
A development team brought me in as its landscape architect for a West End pursuit — the ask was qualifications; I answered with a design. An edible greenway threading the block, and a farmers-market courtyard where the neighborhood's paths cross.
Circulation space becomes common ground.
A development team pursuing a full block in Atlanta's West End brought me in as its landscape architect. The submission was a request for qualifications, the kind usually met with résumés.
The proposal threads the block's residences and shared gardens with a green pedestrian corridor — and makes it edible. Layered plantings feed the people who live along it; a farmers-market courtyard sits where the neighborhood's paths cross. The everyday route between home and street doubles as the place neighbors tend, harvest, and gather.
The commission went another way — that happens in pursuits. The design thinking stays on the boards, and the package shows what it looks like when I join a development team: site plan, vision imagery, and a landscape argument for the whole block, produced inside an RFQ window.
