A Sense of Adventure

Lorene Edwards Forkner writes about Richard’s favorite spring plantings in her March 26, 2025 column in the Seattle Times’ Pacific NW Magazine.

“Hartlage has long used his personal garden, executed in bold color and with a playful sense of scale, for trialing plants and building materials.”

Landscape Architecture Magazine features our fountain design for Yew Dell Botanical Gardens in its Backstory column.

“We did a lot of fountain designs for them that didn’t resonate. It was the only piece of the project that didn’t make them happy right out of the gate. Then I had the idea: Why are we not just using the millstone? And it occurred to me that we could utilize the millstones in this fountain in a kind of subtle, low-impact way.” —Richard Hartlage
