I see landscapes and plants as a point of connection, a hopeful place to find common ground, and a reason to gather people to grow, harvest, build, tend, and create. The complex networks between natural elements, plants and animals inspire the ecological perspective and collaborative nature of Meadowsweet Design LLC. On this ever-changing and evolving planet, my hope is to craft resilient and responsive landscapes that serve far more functions than meets the eye, for as long as possible.

Karen is excited to offer a holistic approach to design that includes her specialties in herbal medicine, environmental education, homesteading, organic food production, and community engagement. Her skills and experience as a farmer, garden educator, herbalist, yogi, and youth mentor inform and guide her iterative design process with inclusive and ecological principles. Karen’s curious spirit continues to inspire her creative, adventurous, educational, and sustainable pursuits.
