The Whole Systems Design Collective brings together a research farm, plant nursery, and professional landscape architecture practice. We are an ecological design and landscape architecture firm committed to creating spaces that are nourishing for people, and the places we inhabit. 

We offer our clients a unique, working knowledge of regenerative landscapes built on decades of work on our research farms and proving grounds in Vermont and client projects around the country. We work with public and private clients across a variety of scales from small homestead, farm, and orchard designs to community and agricultural master plans, campuses, and public parks.

Our multidisciplinary approach integrates ecology, agriculture, urbanism, building, and multiple craft from design through management. We focus on providing an in-depth, iterative design process. As with our results, our process is tactile, facilitating a client relationship that is transparent, engaging, and in preparation for living with the systems we’ve co-created.
