About

We believe in the power of good design to create impactful positive change for people and the environment. We believe that what is good for the earth, is good for the people. We believe that working together we can achieve anything.

Wild Land Workshop is a landscape architecture studio specializing in endemic landscapes for outdoor living, biodiversity and water conservation. We approach every site dedicated to the goal of restoring the natural systems and processes that make our natural world turn, and that make our landscapes look and work right. This approach is applied to any range of  projects,  from urban rooftops to suburban back yards to rural drylands restoration. Rooted in the Ventana Wilderness in Monterey County, CA, we immerse ourselves in these wild places for inspiration and education, so as to know what to recreate within our designed landscapes. 

Marie Goulet is a licensed landscape architect with over 16 years of experience in the field of landscape architecture. Growing up in the woods of rural Massachusetts, Marie developed a boundless appreciation for the natural world which has shaped the landscapes she designs. Since moving to California in 2006, she has worked on many innovative public, corporate and private projects throughout California with a focus on the SF bay area. National and international work includes New York, Mexico, China, the UAE, and Hawaii. Before starting Wild Land Workshop, she worked as Senior Project Manager and Lead Designer at Rana Creek Habitat Restoration.
