Apiary Studio
Winner of the 2024 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show Cup, Best in Show, the Anne Vallery Award for its intent to take a strong stance on an environmental issue, Landscape. Apiary Studio is a landscape architecture, design/build, and experimental horticulture firm. They work to achieve thoughtful design solutions that maximize opportunities and mitigate challenges in an increasingly post-wilderness, post-humanist world. By way of citizen research, in-house trialling, and playful curiosity, they have come to specialize in unorthodox building materials and conventions, adaptive reuse of urban decay, and unusual hardy plants to create gardens and outdoor spaces that are dynamic, responsive, and break from the mold. Collaboration with socially and environmentally minded colleagues, clients, and constituents is the underpinning of their practice, from private to public sites, wherein it's their belief that we are all ultimately stakeholders in landscape.
