Holistically Designed for Inner and Outer Landscapes

From medicinal gardens to urban parks, each project is designed with the intention of fostering a profound connection with nature and enhancing one's overall well-being.

“In order to shift the way humans relate to the earth, we must begin to shift the way we relate to ourselves and our communities. Mother Nature models this paradigm, and in essence provides us with a universal tool that can facilitate this shift. If we as humans can tap into this ancient wisdom, a deeper awareness will begin to open up. Then real change will have an opportunity to manifest.”

Testimonials

  • “Collaborating with Aja isn't just about landscaping; it's about co-creating sacred spaces that resonate with the soul. For those seeking a deeper connection with nature and a more profound sense of well-being, Aja's guidance is an invaluable resource. She is able to tap into the soul of the land, fostering a deeper connection between individuals and their natural surroundings. Through rituals, ceremonies, and intuitive insights, Aja helps clients unlock the spiritual potential of their outdoor spaces, creating sanctuaries that nurture the mind, body, and soul.”

  • "Aja partnered with me (as founder and Executive Director) and Wild Earth (a NY State nonprofit) as we began our stewardship of the 165 acre parcel that would become the home of our nature connection programming. We worked together for over two years in all aspects of engineering, site planning, environmental study, project phasing, contractor relations, and construction management.  The project was a resounding success, and our partnership, together as humans and with the land has been uniquely satisfying and personally expanding. “

  • “Aja assists clients in navigating the ever-changing landscape of their lives, both inner and outer. By blending landscape expertise with spiritual wisdom, she helps individuals align their inner desires with their external environment, fostering a sense of balance and alignment."

  • I wholeheartedly recommend working with Aja. Her skill, warmth, and dedication have left a lasting impact on both our land and our lives.

    Amidst a whirlwind of changes to our 10 acres, a miscommunication with our excavation company led to a heartbreaking mistake—30 trees that were never meant to be removed were taken down. My partner was devastated, and our once-beautiful land was left resembling a scene of destruction, as if an asteroid had struck our backyard. We were overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward.

    Then came Aja Hudson. We hired her not only for her incredible expertise in landscaping but also for her unique ability to guide us through the emotional toll of such a significant upheaval. Aja approached the situation with compassion, vision, and a steady hand, helping us reclaim both our land and our peace of mind.

    Six months later, our land has been transformed. Every tree we "accidentally" lost has been replaced, and the beauty of our property has been restored. The stress and anxiety that once felt insurmountable have been replaced with a renewed sense of calm and hope.

  • “Aja worked with us on our patio design and all of the landscaping surrounding our home. We were also blessed to experience a land connection ceremony with her. This blessing was the beginning of a beautiful journey with our home and land and not only ignited the fire of movement that had been stagnant previously, but it also healed a dynamic within our personal relationship system that wasn't working. Aja was not only able to architecturally and technically design our patio, but she was also able on a wholistic and energetic level, to connect us with our land and open up a channel for us to be in better communication with our surroundings and our home.”

  • “Aja's keen eye for design and her dedication to creating beautiful outdoor spaces ensure that every project exceeds expectations. Whether it's a backyard retreat or a front yard makeover, Aja's designs are not only visually appealing but also imbued with a sense of harmony and tranquility.”

  • “We hired Aja a few months after we became owners of our home, along with 10 acres of land. Having little to no experience with landscaping or gardening, we knew we needed an expert who could help us shape the vision of our land, as well as help us with the more intricate details, like planning and building gardens to beautify our home. We also knew we needed someone who could navigate mine and my husband's different ways of thinking and working, and help us manage the incredible stress I was experiencing after too many trees were accidentally taken down by an excavation company we had hired to open up the highly forested space around our house.

    Aja did an amazing job at helping us co-create the aesthetic vision of our land, including the creation of winding pathways through the woods, planting new, smaller trees that bring color and diversity to the landscape, planning gorgeous gardens, re-seeding with native grasses, and even setting the spot for the yurt we are currently building. And even more importantly, she did all of that, and more, with incredible care, steadiness, and awareness of all the complexity that comes with taking down trees, building on land, and re-imagining a landscape we had known for the past 8 years (when we we were renting the home we recently bought). Today, we look around our home, and see the stamp of Aja's work everyday, and feel incredibly nourished by all she helped us create. Aja is a passionate lover of the Earth and natural world, and she brought us closer to our land and to the nature spirits through her creations. We are forever grateful for her support, and happily recommend her to anyone seeking to beautify their home and connect with the natural world through her loving hands and heart.”
