Info and tidbits about landscape designing in Central Oregon
About Me
- Carlseng Designs
- Born again gardener. I started gardening professionally in college but thought I needed a "real job". It took me years, but now I'm back and loving every minute of it. I have a great balance of quiet working time at my table and time outside talking with clients and walking landscapes.

Books I Love
Here is a selection of some of my favorite books (mostly gardening oriented but some fiction snuck in)
Hardy Succulents
Rain Gardens: Managing Water Sustainably in the Garden and Designed Landscape
High and Dry: Gardening with Cold-Hardy Dryland Plants
Gardening with Native Plants of the Pacific Northwest by Arthur R. Kruckeberg
I keep coming back to this book for different reasons. Not too many writers can make the depths of despair so hilarious.
Sagebrush Counry by Ronald J. Taylor
Flora by Sean Hogan
