It was great to show @bernardtrainor and Julia around the @bethchattogardens meanwhile garden yesterday. A really interesting discussion on art, crevices, soils, public space, resilient plants, grazing, teenage landscapes and much more. @spaceshaper@groundstudiolandscape
Moments from an especially wonderful visit to @bernardtrainor 's studio, an extraordinary landscape architect, soulful artist, incredible human being, and wonderful friend. š¤
Looking back on one of our most memorable moments of 2025: ā
ā
LAND AS LEGACY: THE LIVING PRACTICE OF BERNARD TRANOR, a conversation with renowned landscape designer BERNARD TRAINOR and architect JESS FIELD (moderator), and hosted at the Boffi | DePadova Studio San Francisco Showroom.ā
ā
The evening, presented by 33SIXTY and hosted by showroom owner Gregory Herman, drew a full house from across the Bay Area design community. Together, Bernard and Jess explored how land, art, architecture, and daily ritual shape a creative life rooted in place.ā
ā
Bernard Trainor is the founder of @groundstudiolandscape , known for sculptural, ecologically driven landscapes across California. His practice extends to painting and sculptureādisciplines deeply informed by his daily work in the garden.ā
ā
Jess Field leads @fieldarchitecture , a Palo Altoābased studio designing buildings in quiet, deliberate dialogue with the land, grounded in craft, stewardship, and his lineage under Louis Kahn.ā

This piece titled FUYU has been hanging in my home since I created it in 2017 ---and now it is shipping today to find it's place in the home of a passionate collector - it feels right š (oh and that is much loved Jonathan Ryan painting on the left)
