Our Approach

Our unique approach to landscape design and consulting is rooted in the concept of integration. We consider every detail and aspect of each project, from the macro to the micro, to bring out the highest potential possible for each site.

By understanding the intricate relationships between plants, animals, and people, we can create environments that are sustainable, beautiful, and beneficial for all.

Our Story

Our story begins in the North Woods of rural Maine, where our founder, Owen Wormser, was born and raised. Growing up in a small town surrounded by the natural world, Owen developed a deep connection with the earth and plants. This connection became the inspiration for Abound Design, which Owen founded to share that connection with others while continuing to cultivate it in himself.
