Real projects transforming New Mexico landscapes into resilient, productive, and beautiful ecosystems.
Off-grid North Valley ABQ Sanctuary
Residential Permaculture Design - Albuquerque - June 2025
VSL designed a regenerative off-grid North Valley ABQ oasis — a sustainable design project integrating greywater and rainwater irrigation to create a thriving landscape that produces food, supports wildlife habitat, and provides shade, wind protection, and aesthetic beauty.
The design also thoughtfully incorporates hard and softscaping elements inspired by Native American family roots, reflecting both cultural heritage and ecological resilience.
Sustainable Brewery
Cedar Crest - April 2026
VSL created a sustainable brewery design at Rumor Brewery in Cedar Crest reflecting the owners desire to transform the site into an eco-friendly oasis designed to attract new customers and support craft beer production from orchard fruit.
Integrating re-purposed materials, soil building, water-retaining rain gardens, and xeric, climate-adapted plants, this design exemplifies our commitment to resilient, water-wise, and environmentally conscious landscapes.
North Valley "Zenburque" Gardens
VSL transformed a residential property into a thriving, water-wise oasis. This design integrates passive rainwater harvesting, native plant guilds, and productive growing spaces tailored to the unique high-desert climate.
By carefully analyzing sun sectors, water flow, and existing microclimates, the Zenburque Oasis maximizes ecological function while providing a serene, beautiful space for the homeowners to connect with nature.
130 Acre East Mountain Ranch Resort
Torreon- August 2026
VSL integrated extensive water harvesting, regenerative agriculture, and diverse native ecosystems, building a resilient and abundant landscape that reflects the unique low grass Western prairie ecosystem the Ranch sits on integrating mixed conifers, dozens of oak species, native and climate adapted fruit bearing trees and shrubs plus low water natives.
This holistic approach showcases how large-scale permaculture empowers arid lands to thrive, fostering ecological balance and a nature-led experience for all.
