Background

The story of Abound Design began where Owen Wormser was born - deep in the North Woods of rural Maine. He grew up in a small town, surrounded by the profound presence of the natural world. This marked the beginning of his ever-deepening relationship with the earth and plants.

Abound Design came about as a means for Owen to share that connection with others while also further cultivating it in himself. With this as his inspiration, Owen actively practices the skills and perspectives necessary to effectively weave people and the natural world back together. Owen received a degree in landscape architecture in 1998 and went on to found Treefrog Landscapes. He practiced there until 2010, when he departed to launch Abound Design.

At Abound Design, we are committed to creating sustainable landscapes that enrich the well-being of individuals, communities, and habitats. With a unique integrated design process, we generate beautiful and inspiring landscapes that are harmonious, sustainable, and filled with holistic qualities. If you are looking for a landscape design, build, or consulting firm that is deeply rooted in the principles of landscape architecture, horticulture, permaculture, and ecology, look no further than Abound Design.
