Todd Gilens Design

Todd Gilens Design is a landscape architecture and garden design practice that integrates artistic vision with ecological expertise. The practice specializes in large-scale ecological processes, water systems, and environmental change, working collaboratively with clients and communities to develop site-specific garden designs informed by historical research and cross-disciplinary inquiry. Gilens combines traditional landscape architecture training with innovative approaches to making invisible ecological processes visible and meaningful through garden design, site-work, and accompanying graphic documentation. The practice emphasizes the relationship between private and public landscapes, using drawing, photography, and writing to engage sites and subjects while developing projects that reflect unique place-based conditions and ecological opportunities.
