When I see a plain old lawn, my mind starts going a mile a minute. What did this look like 50 years ago? 500 years ago? And even if we can’t get back to a pure ecosystem, what could be a better use of this land?

We give every room in our homes a purpose. Our outdoor spaces deserve the same thought. Do you want a play area for the kids? A place to gather with family and neighbors? A spot that invites pollinators?

When we design around how we actually live, the yard becomes a space we use instead of just mow and water. And once we’re out there using it, we can start building ecosystems around us.

Think beyond the lawn

I were planting the Owens sisters’ garden in real life 🌙🌿

A practical magic garden starts with herbs, then layers in natives that actually thrive here: elderberry, American beautyberry, echinacea, gaura, and muscadine grapes. Round it out with lavender, wormwood, and all the other practical herbs that a green witch might use.

lawns started as a status symbol. in 1700s europe, keeping a huge stretch of clipped grass with no crops or livestock meant you had land to waste and people to pay to maintain it. then olmsted’s suburbs, the push mower, and post-war chemical companies made it the default for everyone. in this series, i’m giving you alternatives to a lawn, and every one has a function.

in this series, we’ve focused on water features not only because they are beautiful additions to our gardens, but because they are an incredibly powerful asset when talking about sustainability.

here, we’re learning about Tintinhull Garden in Somerset, England. the garden’s structure was laid out by Phyllis Reiss, but it was Penelope Hobhouse who lived and gardened at Tintinhull in the 1980s, who’s known for the planting choices that make this pond so successful.

a quiet, contemplative space, framed by the structure of the home. the water and planting around it brings the whole design together.

it’s a reminder that a water feature doesn’t need to be complicated to earn its place. a simple, calm pond can anchor a garden, offer a moment of calm in the heat of a Texas summer, and give wildlife a place to thrive

we’ve been talking about water features in Texas gardens. one of my favorite water features to design are ponds. they are such beautiful, holistic additions to any garden. they support pollinators, local wildlife and help manage the Texas heat. they may seem difficult to maintain, but aquatic plants already do a lot of the work for us. here’s a list of my favorite aquatic plants for Texas ponds

Ponds have a reputation problem.

Mosquitoes, upkeep, “too much work” - I hear it constantly. None of that is inevitable

A well-built pond is a layered system. Oxygenating plants do the filtration, marginals root right at the edge, and pretty soon you’ve got lizards, birds, life you didn’t have before. A lawn alone can’t give you that

It takes some care up front - sizing the pump to the actual volume, getting the soil right, finding an installer who knows what they’re doing. After that, it mostly holds itself

we’re excited to introduce the new Rharian Fields brand identity, created in collaboration with Lawwrie | Visual Artist & Designer as Rharian Fields has grown, we wanted our branding to better reflect the work we’re doing and the way we think about gardens. thoughtful, ecological, and rooted in place.

we worked with Lawwrie to bring that feeling into a new logo, typography, colors, and all the little details that make up the Rharian Fields identity, from our website and social media to our printed materials.

we’re really happy with where we landed, and so grateful to Lawwrie for helping us bring this vision to life thank you to everyone who has helped us grow this year 🌿

we’ve talked about how water features are often avoided in Texas gardens. but when thoughtfully designed, water can be an incredible asset, especially in Texas. Water features support wildlife, increase biodiversity, and provide valuable habitat, particularly during our extreme summers and a changing climate.

here, we’re looking at Gertrude Jekyll’s Folly Farm in Sulhamstead, Berkshire. the garden is a beautiful example of a naturalistic approach to garden design, where planting, structure, and the flow of the landscape work together to create a space where wildlife can truly thrive.

in this reel, we look at the planting choices that make this pond so successful, and how we can take those principles and translate them into a texas garden.

folly farm is a wonderful reminder that supporting an ecosystem doesn’t have to come at the expense of beauty. when we design with nature rather than against it, our gardens can be both beautiful and more impactful.
