COGdesign expands access to green and open spaces through community-engaged landscape design and planning services
Our values guide our mission
Connection
is our passion.
We partner with community organizations to link people, place, and nature—building trust, fostering mutual benefit, and turning ideas into reality through a collaborative, community-informed design process.
Belonging
is our foundation.
We elevate community voices in our projects and partnerships, creating outdoor spaces that are just, inclusive, and foster a true sense of belonging for all.
Design
is regenerative.
We co-design with communities through an iterative process that deepens engagement, enhances well-being, and restores the connection between people and place.
Education
is lifelong.
We embrace interdependence, curiosity, and growth – continually learning from one another, rooted in COG’s founding as an education and outreach organization.
Sustainability
is timeless.
We believe green spaces nurture individual, community, and planetary health, prioritizing ecological, social, and economic sustainability in every step of our design process.
