Ethos.
The meeting place of beauty & sustainability
At Campo de Fiori Designs we pride ourselves in creating gardens that marry aesthetic with function. First and foremost, we seek to make gardens that are in harmony with their surroundings. In our work in southern California this means choosing plants that are water wise and climate appropriate. A deep knowledge of plants and how they interact with their environment allows us to build landscapes that are and suited to local growing conditions while still creating the romantic feeling of a lush and full landscape. We design with the intention of our gardens to flourish over time, using natural materials that will age with grace and grow in character. Our work emphasizes the beauty of the natural cycles and we choose to see how a decaying seed pod can be as captivating as the unfurling of a young leaf. The study of how light moves through a space guides our design to ensure plants and people alike can maximize the natural elements.

About
Camilla Norris
With a background in sustainability and design, my guiding pillars in any garden are beauty, sustainability and function. The garden ought to feel like an extension of the home, drawing us outside to connect with the natural world. From there an intricate dance can be created between texture, color and shape to create visual interest that guides one’s eyes through a space. Whether you want a garden for solitude and nature or the outdoor hosting space of your dreams, or all of the above, I love collaborating with clients to bring their dream landscapes to life and elevate their homes.
Our outdoor spaces are often left unattended to, we become accustomed to our surroundings as we found them and forget that with intention and design we can transform our outdoor spaces to nourishing landscapes that calm our nervous systems and inspire us to live more fully. Whether its connecting with ourselves, others, or nature a well designed garden offers a portal into altered states of being. Something as simple as an outdoor seating area that catches the morning light just right, backed by a screen of soft blue and green foliage can revolutionize how we start each day and the energy we bring into the world. It is my life’s passion to create beautiful spaces that inspire more connectivity and ground us into our natural surroundings.
