Athens/Avalon Greenspace
This inspirational greenspace, in the Excelsior neighborhood of San Francisco, was once a sloping hillside filled with trash. For over a decade volunteers worked on this project to turn it into a beautiful terraced hillside with patios and a now famous staircase designed by artist Iran Narges.
Mary's Garden
Children's Museum of Sonoma County
Nurturescapes is part of the design team for the Children's Museum of Sonoma County's Mary's Garden, the outdoor exhibits. We worked on the grant proposal, conceptual designs, design development and construction documentation. The garden tells the tale of Mary, a butterfly, her relationship with the environment of Sonoma County, as well as her transformation from egg into a butterfly. We are proud to be a part of such an incredible place!
NutureScapes has worked on a variety of public parks and projects and can assist in all stages of the project. From concept designs, fundraising ideas, grant writing, community meetings/events and site analysis. We have expertise in playground and school yard design, natural play areas, public green spaces and parks.
