Vetiver and fountain grass scratching his back, maybe.
Tomorrow, I’m headed back.
I now have two semesters’ worth of experience at Harvard. Each one extracted different design bones that I never knew I had. The only catch is that this extraction happens without anaesthesia.
On Instagram, it looks like a dream - a life spent crafting, making, and imagining all day. And it is. It truly is. But sometimes you get so deep inside a dream that all you want is to wake up.
I’ve had my lows with this extraction process. I’ve wanted to quit. I’ve felt like shit. I’ve hated myself. I’ve disappeared into a cocoon for days at a time.
I think I’m going back a little more prepared this time. Or maybe just a little more willing to be cut open again. Only time will tell.
Until then, here are the gorgeous outcomes of the last surgery - the ones I’m very, very, very proud of.:P
I like everything extra.
Design here never ends, because you are designing living matter. Its grows, it overtakes, it dies. It’s so alive that you don’t have the comfort of predictability. But we are human beings, destined to believe we have some sort of control.
So we design.
Over and over and over.
Before we plant.
After we plant.
Before monsoon.
After winter.
Until you realise that control is an illusion.
You have to let go at some point and let nature be.
For us death is an end.
It is an end of dependencies.
It is an isolation of the body from the whole system.
For nature, death just is.
It is a shift in dependencies.
It is a merger of the body with the whole system.
A living oak might be loved by a deer for acron.
But a dead oak might be the hangout spot for a woodpecker.
Irrespective of dead or living, each being is a very valuable, life-giving part of the system.
These are snippets from a cemetery project that I completed in May 2026, under the amazing guidance of
The project was an attempt to embrace impermanence - the core teaching of death; by creating shifting pockets of life that follow the death of trees onsite. As different trees would die, surrounding pockets would activate as burial gardens. Mycorrhizal Decomposition would be a source of life for every butterfly, bird, insect and flower that blooms in that pocket. Imagine sort of patch mosaic flowing through the Oak-Hickory forest of Franklin park.
More later;)
From bare chemical laden ground to thriving food forest.
3 years and counting.
Weirdly missing the hustle.

Absolutely everything was sourced from the 2 year old forest and it was peak summer so it was a tough harvest. More fruits and flowers- things you eat fresh, less vegetables and greens to cook and make a meal with.
We kinda killed it regardless. 🍀
Wish I could you tell you more, but somethings are only experienced offline.
SOM is a holistic wellbeing space, designed to nourish the mind, body and soul through Ayurveda, Yoga, Sound Healing and Naturopathy.
The brief was to design a landscape that supports all of these experiences. We decided to dive deep into the stories of the region to find ancestral remedies and medicinal herbs. What you see in the post are a few of the 50 different species that we identified and planted. The landscape is now a combination of small private gardens attached to each therapy room and a large common garden that can facilitate medicinal plant tours and explorations.
We are in the process of integrating the leafs, stems, seeds and flowers of these plants in the therapies offered at SOM. Different parts of plants can be used as packs, scrubs, essence, detox teas, potlis, powders and so on.
I’ll tell you my 3 favourites:
1. Crushing and smelling the leaves of the camphor tree gives me the best sensory overload 🍀 Camphor leaves can be used directly in a lot of massage oils and potli remedies.
2. Stevia, which I pluck and eat everytime I visit has a superb flavour. It’s a natural alternative to sugar, the leaves can be directly added to teas and drinks. Even though there is some speculation around stevia, I quite like it.
3. The anti-inflammatory black turmeric, (which is actually blue on the inside!?!) kind of dies in the winter and then comes back in the summer. It’s real magic. As of 2016, Black turmeric has been listed as an endangered species by the Indian Agricultural Department. Find it in the last photo. I cant even begin talking about its health benefits.
Let me know what you think??!?!?
