Laura Noel is an educator and interdisciplinary designer with a professional background in Landscape Architecture, Garden Design, Urban Farming, and teaching Transcendental Meditation for the David Lynch Foundation. She combines her professional experience in teaching meditation, creative practice focused on ecological planting design, and the study of astrologically based planting practices like Biodynamics and Vedic farming principles into both her planting designs and courses.

Raised in Akron, Ohio- a post-industrial city in the Rust Belt- Laura’s work is rooted in a lifelong inquiry into how landscapes can restore not just ecosystems, but communities and cultural memory. Her practice blends ecological insight with beauty and functionality.

She holds a Bachelor’s in Urban Planning and a Master’s in Landscape Architecture from the University of Cincinnati, along with a Planting Design Diploma from the London College of Garden Design. Her training in herbalism and botany at the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine continues to shape her intuitive, soil-centered approach to planting design.
