Who we are
Kelsi Anderson
Ecological Artist | Landscape Contractor | Founder
Kelsi weaves her delight for plants, wild landscapes, and creativity into her work crafting ecological artworks and gardens. In awe of the rapid regenerative qualities of healthy organic soils, pollinator plants, and holistic ecosystems, she works with these elements to regenerate vibrant habitats into our environment. Drawing deep inspiration from nature and the landscapes that she works in, she also creates large-scale ecological art installations. She believes the imaginative qualities of these artworks – and the inviting gardens she designs – can be a catalyst to shift our perspectives and open our hearts to the intrinsic, healing properties of nature.
Kelsi holds a BA from New York University in Environmental Studies and Fine Art, with additional technical training at Merritt Community College, Oakland, in Landscape Architecture, Horticulture + Natural Resources. A lifelong student of the earth and spirit, she has additional trainings in ecological stewardship and permaculture design, leadership coaching, nature connection practices, and yoga. Kelsi is a licensed landscape contractor with the Contractors State License Board.
Julia Bell
Ecological Designer | Artist | Horticulturist
Julia is passionate about the dynamic fields of landscape and floral design, fusing fine art with horticultural design in residential, educational, and commercial settings. Julia has been immersed in ecological landscape design and restoration in the Bay Area for the past 20 years. Her background in fine art, design, and botany fuse with a love for California’s wildlands. She sees her work as living sculptures that are part of the greater ecosystem. Julia enjoys the rich collaborative process among clients, fellow workers, horticulturalists, contractors, and craftspeople that propels each project through to a successful ecological landscape.
Her formal education from UCSC in Art and Biology and supplemental classes in Landscape Design & Architecture, Horticulture, Engineering Technology, and Graphic Design from Cabrillo and West Valley College have provided a solid backdrop for continual ongoing studies. Julia’s special interests include California native plants, water harvesting, resource conservation, pollinator attraction (birds, butterflies & bees), edible/usable gardens, succulents, Permaculture, and living sculpture. Among her many projects, Julia is also raising an incredible nature-appreciating baby, and stewarding the land in the Soquel Hills.
Nicole McEntee
Operations | Horticulturalist
Nicole found her way to Sonoma County to earn her BS in Business Administration and a Project Management Certificate from Sonoma State University, and fell in love with foggy mornings, a sense of community, and seemingly endless regional parks to explore.
Her horticultural education continues in the Landscape Design Certificate Program at SRJC. She is a Qualified Water Efficient Landscaper with interest in water harvesting and a mini-watershed mentality for each project. Nicole frequents her local library branch for books on the California Floristic Provence, arboriculture, ecological land management, food sovereignty, cooking, and fiction. From her backyard veggie garden Nicole feeds neighbors and loved ones, practices patience and gratitude, and grounds herself in seasonal wonder.
At WEA, Nicole runs operations and loves problem-solving with the team for ecologically beneficial ways to design and build outdoor spaces that encourage people to spend more time in nature, together.
