Jocelyn Jacobs

Astral Gardens offers plant design services for outdoor residential and commercial spaces around Los Angeles. We work with native plants and low water-use plants from around the world to create unique and imaginative landscapes. We create spaces with intention - they can inspire joy, or create solace. They can be playful or serene. We collaborate with clients to bring their vision into being, while responding to each site’s specific vibe. Our goal is to create a sustainable garden that will thrive and mature over time.

Jocelyn Jacobs spent her formative years in the deserts, mountains, and throbbing sunsets of Arizona. She started her career as a visual artist and earned an MFA in Visual Art from UCSD, and as such understands how one’s visual world can nurture the soul. She approaches the landscape as living sculpture, a painting, and an ecosystem - with an emphasis on natural wonder and delight.

After a 10 year run in New York, Astral Gardens is now based in Los Angeles.
