For sale this spring online and at our garden center: Skullcap is a low growing herbaceous native perennial in the mint family. Like other members of the mint family, skullcap is square-stemmed and has opposite leaves, though it doesn't have aromatic properties like other mint family members. Small, hooded flowers bloom starting in July, with colors ranging from blue to white, and sometimes pink. As a nervine, skullcap has a long history of medicinal use. It thrives in very moist, wet conditions that have access to full sun. It reaches heights of 2-3 feet and will spread 1.5-2.5 feet, spreading through rhizomes and runners.

Coming this spring to our collection of medicinal plants for sale at the nursery: Passionflower!! This incredible climbing vine has one of the most striking flowers- almost insect-like in its display of delicate purple petals and filaments. Once spent, the flower is replaced by a small fruit called a maypop, edible to both humans and animals. This plant is used both medicinally and spiritually, often tinctured or used in teas. It is also a great pollinator source, attracting fruit birds and many types of butterflies. Though native to the southern United States, this plant can be grown as a perennial if its root base is protected through the winter. ………………Read 👇………………….

This year we are expanding our medicinal herb offerings at our garden center! Keep an eye out over the coming weeks as we profile some of our favorites. Today's favorite on this cold, icy night is lemon verbena. Known for its intense scent and flavor, Aloysia citrodora, is an herbaceous shrub with long, narrow lance-shaped leaves. It has pale white flowers that bloom from summer to fall, which is when the lemon scent is strongest. It's leaves are used both medicinally and for culinary purposes, releasing the strongest scent when fresh and mellowing out when dried. It's medicinal use is often connected to digestive and mental health, as it is said to be a relaxant. Simply for it's warmth of flavor, it would be delicious paired with tulsi and mint as a nourishing winter tea. #medicinalplants #herbalism #lemonverbena #sunshineinacup #aloysiacitrodora #onenature

#wolfmoon, just one of the many names for this January’s full moon, this one also falls on this #mlkday day and #tubishvat. Once upon a time #canislupus walked the Hudson Valley in large numbers, but are now extirpated. MLK was killed, along with the old growth forests here that supported vibrant life. Let’s embrace hope, justice and the inherent rights of all people, plants and animals as we remember them and “plant the trees” for a future generation.

Tropical Forest Canopy Study, Tobago. 2010. 9 in x 12 in, watercolor.

Happy New Year 2022! Here’s to another spin around the sun, living in a positive way, staying strong in Babylon, and doing the right work for the planet and the people. #oneplanet #onepeople #onenature

Did you know that there's a population of Broom crowberry (Corema conradii) on Gertrude's Nose near Lake Minnewaska? A very rare, low growing evergreen species, this is the only known population outside of the coastal plain, and the only known population in the state of New York. Growing alongside plants like pitch pine, highbush blueberry, mountain laurel, chokeberry, and various types of oaks, it likes full sun, sandy soils and exposed rock ledges. #coremaconradii #gertrudesnose #minnewaska #dwarfpitchpineforest

All done on the installation of our $5000 Miyawaki Forest raffle giveaway to celebrate the 100 gardens built by our #beaconrefugia project. Landscape is a very slow form of art, but these types of forests are designed to fix carbon and create habitat much more quickly than typical plantings. We intentionally plant smaller, less expensive plant material at very close spacing, let them self select survive, and embrace the aesthetic that ecological competition creates. For this planting we chose species that would not grow more than 20’ tall. #miyawaki #miyawakiforest #onenature #carbonfixation #oiltosoil #nativeplants #ecologicalparadigm

We added five more species of native willow #salix species to our #orangecountyny plant nursery today. Did you know that most willows can be grown from hardwood cuttings during their dormant season? Just snip off a branch, bury in the ground, and as long as there is moisture and sun it will grow. While the non-native weeping willow is probably the most well known, native willows have really vigorous roots that stabilize soils, and their spring flowers are one of the first available food sources for pollinating insects.

This 40” x 60” model is twice the size we normally work in, but well worth the effort for a proposed upstate Landscape Hotel. Next week we’ll add the concept design to the surface. Over the lifespan of a project, a site model can save tens of thousands of dollars by quickly and accurately orienting interdisciplinary professionals involved in large-scale projects. It’s also a fantastic way to convey design intent to laypeople (who often cannot read plans). While the rest of the world seems to be collectively moving towards homogeneity and virtual reality, #onenature is firmly committed to a site specific, tactile, and hand built artistic process. #landscapehotel #earthworks #earthart #landart #environmentalplanning

Evening golden light rays celebrated today on this newly built ground level deck across an important #geospiritual lake outlet. Another step forward here on this multi-year lakefront meadow garden vision. The deck shape will make much more sense after we install three acres of riparian meadow and paths this spring. #onenature

Model making is a type of earth worship.

The New Green Street Park

November 05, 2018 in Public Parks, Natural Playgrounds

Green Street Park is a well loved community park, just over a mile from our studio in Beacon. In response to requests from community members and the City, we partnered with Hudson Land Design Engineering to work alongside Beacon Park and Recreation in designing several new features for the park. These new features are tailored to community input and will provide an improved experience for parkgoers of all ages.

Main Street Pop-Up Park

May 19, 2018 in Public Parks, community

In 2014, One Nature partnered with Green Teen volunteers to transform a vacant lot in Beacon, NY into a temporary pop-up park. All across the world, real estate speculation causes land in dense urban areas to lay vacant, sometimes for decades. This project creates a temporary landscape so that the land can be ecologically and socially productive until such time that development occurs.

Safe Harbors Green: Summary of Mapping Ecosystem Services

December 07, 2017 in Public Parks

Vassar research intern Elise Chessman wrote this brief summary of her work mapping ecological function at Safe Harbors Green in Newburgh, NY. One Nature designed and built the park in 2016 and now, one year later, we went back to evaluate how successful (or not!) our work was at regenerating local ecosystem functions.

Safe Harbors Green: Environmental, Economic, Social Impact Summary

November 15, 2017 in Environmental Planning, Public Parks

Read about our Vassar research intern Anna Beeman's work to evaluate the macro impacts of Safe Harbors Green, a park One Nature Design/Built in Newburgh, NY. Over the course of several months, Anna performed extensive research and outreach that quantified the environmental social, and ecumenic impact of the park... so far.

The Brooklyn Greenway Initiative

July 10, 2017 in Public Parks

Our team was proud to work with the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative to convert two stretches of urban landscape, nearly a half mile, into thriving native plant habitats as part of a large-scale community revitalization initiative.
