Native, Edible, &
Soulful Outdoor Spaces
(Los Angeles & Orange County)
What We Offer
Wild & Tame designs gardens that feel lived-in, rooted, and quietly abundant.
Our landscape work centers on native plants, edible gardens, and thoughtful outdoor composition—spaces that honor California ecology while supporting daily life, ritual, and rest.
We specialize in intentional garden design rather than overbuilt landscapes, focusing on balance, restraint, and longevity.
Our Garden & Landscape Services Include:
Native garden design & planting
Edible gardens & kitchen gardens
Uprise and raised-bed gardens
Front yard refreshes & seasonal replanting
Pollinator-friendly landscapes
Drought-tolerant and climate-appropriate planting
Soft hardscape coordination (paths, gravel, borders, pots)
Every garden is shaped around light, water, movement, and rhythm—not trends.
Design Philosophy
We believe a garden should:
Feel natural, not forced
Evolve with the seasons
Support local ecology
Require thoughtful—not excessive—maintenance
Reflect the people who live with it
This is garden design as stewardship.
Where We Work
Wild & Tame provides garden and landscape design throughout Los Angeles and Orange County, including La Cañada Flintridge, La Crescenta, Shadow Hills, Pasadena, Altadena, South Pasadena, West Hollywood, Malibu, Topanga, Santa Monica, and coastal Orange County communities such as Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, San Clemente, and Dana Point.
Projects outside these areas are considered by request.
“I am so glad I discovered Wild & Tame! Melissa and Jerry could not have been more lovely, knowledgeable, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail and ability to bring spaces to life truly sets them apart.”
