My name is Anna Hartley-Simon. I’m a Master Gardener in training, permaculturalist and woodworker based in Marin County.

Relaxed Fascination is an ongoing creative project exploring the intersection of experience design, craft and the natural environment.

When I’m not collecting inspiration, I run a small strategic design studio, Hartley Design

Relaxed fascination: a Japanese concept that refers to the state of mind that we drop into when engaging with thoughtful and well-balanced gardens.
