Palmer Pamela Landscape Architect

We love the landscape design that Pam Palmer did for our home in Venice! Although our yard is not the size of the estates or municipal projects she also works on, we are grateful that she put the same careful thought into our yard as she does with larger projects.
Everyone oohs and aahs at our landscaping. As we requested Pam designed with native California plants. In the front we really like the native, meadow grass that only needs minimal water and no cutting. Even our dog loves to run around in it. Interspersed in this meadow grass she included native lilacs and a number or other flowering natives to bring not only monarch but also swallowtail butterflies and other wildlife. She’s not a complete purist either. She blended some existing non-​native plants and also added for our sensory delight the stunning Angel’s trumpet. Our neighbors constantly compliment us on our beautiful front yard.
The backyard is intimate thanks to a low semi circle embankment of fragrant and colorful sage, lilacs and poppy plants, complimenting the otherwise flat yard. We’re so glad she suggested the sage since the fragrance is delightful whenever we are out in the yard. She also used a beautiful flowering yarrow as a grass alternative. Our backyard has become a butterfly sanctuary and we now even give friends and neighbors milkweed seedling plants so they can attract butterflies too.
Pam’s talent and design are worth every penny. We figure we increased the value of our home tremendously thanks to Pam’s landscaping.
