Painterly Ground

Wild, walkable, and deeply loved by the community.

A new American meadow garden in the heart of Vail, this landscape pairs a naturalized, painterly planting style with a distinctly urban streetscape. Modern architecture, banded knee walls, and steel planters establish rhythm and structure, while layered perennials and grasses soften the edges into something alive and expressive. Designed to be experienced from the sidewalk as much as from within, this garden carries a true public presence—beloved by the community and deeply tied to the natural surrounding in Vail. A small footprint, richly composed, and endlessly joyful.
