Field Study = Benjamin Heim + Friends

With Benjamin, even a simple neighborhood walk can become a scented-plant tour that might just blow your mind. From the quiet genius of plant communities and the complexity of living ecosystems, nature’s diversity is the spark that drives his vision.

His relationship with plants began early, growing up at his family’s nursery in the Pacific Northwest, cultivating a curiosity and deep respect for the natural world. Over the years, that connection has grown into a design practice shaped by experiences across residential landscape construction, working farms, tropical conservatories, event installations, and community gardens.

Benjamin holds a degree in Landscape Architecture from UC Berkeley, a foundation that informs both the rigor and imagination of his work. Having a background that spans horticulture, landscape design, and the visual and performing arts, he brings technical precision and creative intuition to every project; his process guided by careful observation of the natural environment, a genuine understanding of people, and passion for how we occupy space.
