Rhubarb Designs is a landscape design, build studio located on Salt Spring Island, B.C.

We make gardens. Big, small, joyful, plant-filled, edible, bright, thoughtful, textural. We love exploring materiality through hard and soft scape.

We love steel, we love water, we love wood, we love stone, we love gravel but mostly, we love design. 

Each project we take on is site specific, and deeply rooted in the vernacular of your space.

Take your time. A garden is a deeply personal space and can't be rushed. Taking the time initially allows for an openness in the design and respects that your space is ever evolving. 

We focus on thoughtfully sourced plant materials that will thrive in your environment. 

We build healthy soil, create happy ecosystems and push spaces in new directions.

We offer:

Consultations
This can be a one time visit to your home to offer ideas of how to evolve your space or the beginning of a relationship to grow your space.

Design/Build
We do it all. We have 40+ years experience in both hard and soft scape installations and have wonderful local collab partners. We play well with others, architects, builders, sub trades.  Our incredible nursery partners ensure that we get the best plants. Plants are our thing! We love them deeply and do all we can to ensure their success.

Ongoing Care
We care about the gardens we create. We love being a part of their evolution. We can be there once a week or once a year. We feel strongly that the after care is as important as the installation.
