Blooming Landscape & Design

Blooming Landscape & Design, led by principal designer Brooke Gwendolyn Safford, specializes in creating beautiful, functional, and environmentally friendly landscapes that prioritize ecological restoration and native plant integration. With a Masters in Landscape Architecture, permaculture certification, and 12 years of experience with the National Park Service, Brooke brings a sophisticated understanding of how thoughtful landscape design can restore biodiversity and heal ecosystems. The firm's philosophy centers on designing with the planet in mind—replacing ornamental lawns and exotic plants with holistic, restorative landscapes that benefit both human inhabitants and wildlife. BLD's approach weaves ecological principles throughout every project, from site analysis and flora/fauna inventories to installation and long-term maintenance, ensuring landscapes function as living systems that support pollinators, birds, and broader environmental health.

Blooming Landscape & Design offers comprehensive services that reflect a commitment to sustainable land stewardship, including native pollinator gardens, regenerative design, permaculture design, food forests, birdscapes, xeriscaping, and rainwater harvesting systems. Their expertise in ecological restoration, integrated pest management, soil health, and stormwater management makes them well-equipped to transform properties into resilient landscapes. As an advocate for native plants and on-site water capture, Brooke has even pioneered community initiatives like native pollinator gardens along the Durango River Trail to educate the public about the importance of pollinators. Whether clients seek a water-wise landscape, a regenerative lawn, or a full ecological restoration project, Blooming Landscape & Design delivers thoughtful, science-based solutions.
