Visiting a Fellow Designer's Garden

I've been following Kevin Chambers on Instagram for a while, watching his garden evolve. Then he posted a series of photos saying he was feeling good about how it was looking, and suggesting that it may be time for an open garden. I reached out and asked for a tour.

Kevin is a fellow landscape designer, running a design-build business here in Portland, and his garden has a casual comfortβ€”dense with plants but never messy, modern without feeling stark, the kind of curated ease that comes through in the details: the mocha-stained fence, the decomposed granite paths, a planting style built the same way he designs for clients.


In the video, we talk through his material choices, his low-maintenance philosophy, and his Mediterranean-Pacific Northwest palette of climate-adapted plants.

Watch now β†’

On eGardenGo, you'll find more of the plants that make up Kevin's garden β€” some you'll recognize from the video, and others consistent with its character.
