LANDSCAPE DESIGN • GARDEN DESIGN • LIVING ARTWORKS
I'm Taylor Owen, a landscape designer and creator of Living Artworks, based in Central Alabama.
My work begins with the landscape. I help homeowners create gardens and outdoor spaces that feel beautiful, welcoming, and connected to the architecture of their homes.
From reimagining existing beds and borders to selecting plants, designing container combinations, and creating complete outdoor living spaces, I approach each project with an emphasis on timeless design, thoughtful plant selection, and a sense that the landscape truly belongs where it is.
That same love of gardens and natural materials led to Living Artworks—my collection of handmade sculptural planters, planted pieces, and one-of-a-kind garden objects. Many are created by hand; others begin with vintage pieces that I find and reimagine. Each is intended to bring the character and beauty of the garden into the places we live.
Whether I'm designing an entire landscape or creating a single planted piece, my goal is the same: to create something personal, enduring, and a little unexpected.
LET'S CREATE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
Have a landscape project in mind, a question about one of my pieces, or looking for something special for your home or garden? I'd love to hear from you.
The Plant Wagon's Roots, Since 2018
From The Plant Wagon to Living Artworks
The Plant Wagon began quite literally as a mobile “wagon” of plants—perennials, colorful annuals, herbs and vegetables, groundcovers, and landscape trees and shrubs. From the beginning, I was especially interested in finding beautiful, practical solutions for the landscape, including drought-tolerant plants, erosion control, and those difficult spaces where it can be challenging to get anything to grow.
Over time, that little wagon of plants grew into something much more.
Working with plants naturally led to helping clients decide what to plant, where to plant it, and how to bring an entire landscape together. Today, landscape and garden design have become an important part of what I do, from refreshing existing beds and borders to designing larger landscapes, outdoor spaces, and container plantings.
Along the way, my love of plants, gardens, natural materials, and one-of-a-kind objects also inspired Living Artworks—my collection of original sculptural planters, planted pieces, and garden works designed to bring art and character into the home and landscape.
The Plant Wagon may have started with a wagon full of plants, but it has grown into a place where plants, landscape design, art, and the garden all come together.
