ASLA Recognizes Mingzhu Nerval’s Visionary Approach to Living Murals

We are honored to be recognized by the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) for our innovative approach to plant sourcing, living murals, and sustainable landscape architecture.​

In an interview featured on ASLA’s Professional Practice Network blog, our co-founder Antoine Nerval shared insights into our philosophy:​

“The potential of landscape planting design is often limited by the supply of plant materials, especially when proposing a complex and diverse living system. Such proposals are in many cases considered unrealistic and too expensive…that is why we decided to start from plant collection and plant nursery.”
— Antoine Nerval​

This recognition underscores our commitment to integrating art, engineering, and ecology into meaningful, living landscapes.​

Our dedication to curating rare plant palettes, cultivating species in our nurseries, and executing large-scale, biophilic designs sets us apart in the industry.​

We are proud to contribute to the evolution of sustainable landscape design and look forward to continuing our work in creating living murals that inspire and endure.​
