Meg Glasser is a Los Angeles-based landscape designer and ecologist who transforms underutilized outdoor spaces into thriving, productive ecosystems — gardens that feed families, restore native habitats, support pollinators, and bring communities together.
Her design philosophy is rooted in a deep partnership with nature and place. Meg specializes in weaving California native plants together with productive edible gardens, creating spaces that work with Southern California's unique Mediterranean climate while being ecologically sound, water-wise, and deeply practical for the people who use them every day.
Meg holds a bachelor's degree in Design and professional certifications as a California Native Plant Landscaper through the Theodore Payne Foundation, a UC Master Gardener, and a Master Food Preserver — bringing both artistic vision and serious horticultural expertise to every project she undertakes in Los Angeles and beyond.
Her commitment to community access is woven throughout her work. Through long-standing collaborations with organizations such as Homegirl Café, the Downtown Women's Center, and the Weingart Center, Meg designs gardens that provide fresh food, job training, and healing for some of Los Angeles's most underserved communities.
Meg's work has been featured in The Los Angeles Times, TakePart, KCRW's Good Food, and other publications that highlight food, gardening, and community engagement across Los Angeles. She serves on the boards of the Harvard Heights Neighborhood Association and the Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust, working to expand access to green space throughout the city.
When she's not designing gardens for clients, Meg is tending to her own — a chaotic, beautiful space shared with her blended family of six.
