Flora Landscape Design is a landscape design company that focuses on sustainable, aesthetically pleasing and functional landscape. Working closely with clients, Flora Landscape Design will develop a landscape design that meets the needs of people while restoring and enhancing natural features. An understanding of the ecological characteristics of a site informs the design process. A well-designed garden requires less water, chemicals and maintenance.

About Lupin Hill Hipp:
My parents named me after the lupin flower. It proved to be an appropriate name since I have loved flowers and gardens for as long as I can remember. As principal designer at Flora Landscape Design, I use my combination of life experience and education in a creative and scientific process. Formally, I have a Masters degree in sustainable design and land planning from the Conway School. I have worked in design-build, landscape architecture and retail nurseries for over 15 years. I have also worked for the Backyard Habitat Certification Program and taught Naturescaping classes through East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District. Informally, I have extensive horticultural experience from being a hands-on gardener and hobby naturalist. I have studied gardens and design in the United States, Canada, Mexico and France.
