In order to celebrate National Pollinator Month, we are highlighting some projects that incorporate pollinator-friendly plant species and design strategies! At Kiser + Vogrin Design, we are passionate about creating vibrant, sustainable environments that support the vital work of pollinators. Our projects incorporate native plant species to establish pollinator-friendly places within the landscapes we design. These green spaces not only enhance the beauty of our communities but also provide crucial habitats and connection points for both native and migratory pollinators in Tennessee. 🐝🦋🌸 By integrating native plants, we ensure that our gardens offer nourishment and sanctuary to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. This commitment to sustainable design helps foster biodiversity and strengthens the ecological health of our region. As we wrap up National Pollinator Month, join us in appreciating the incredible work of pollinators and supporting the creation of pollinator-friendly habitats. Together, we can make a difference! #NationalPollinatorMonth #PollinatorFriendly #NativePlants #SustainableDesign #TennesseeGardens #BeeKind #ButterflyHeaven

Last month, KVD was a part of sponsoring the ULI "I Wish I Had Known" themed luncheon panel for the Young Leaders Group. This event featured seasoned professionals sharing invaluable advice on lessons they wish they had known earlier in their careers.

Kiser Vogrin Design is excited to continue supporting the Young Leaders ULI Nashville group! 🎉 This initiative focuses on developing the next generation of leaders in Middle Tennessee's real estate and land use industries.

As we wrap up World Landscape Architecture Month, we wanted to highlight the dedication of our licensed staff at KVD. We asked them to share why they embarked on the path to licensure, and their responses were both inspiring and insightful. At KVD, we prioritize continuous learning and professional growth. Encouraging our staff to pursue licensure is just one way we support their development. With a diverse team boasting a wealth of expertise and interests, we’ve instituted internal lunch and learn sessions. These sessions provide a platform for each staff member to showcase their projects, share lessons learned and spark new ideas for the future. Our commitment to learning also extends beyond our office walls. You’ll often find our team members attending educational sessions hosted by organizations like ASLA and ULI right here in Nashville. These experiences not only expand our knowledge but also strengthen our connections within the local design and construction community. As we reflect on World Landscape Architecture Month, we’re reminded of the passion and dedication that drives us forward. Together, we’ll continue to push the boundaries of innovation and excellence in landscape architecture. @ulinashville @nationalasla @tennesseeasla @nashvilledesignweek #WLAM #LandscapeArchitecture #ProfessionalDevelopment #ContinuingEducation #ASLA #ULI #KVD

Introducing the newest addition to our KVD squad: Taylor! 🎉 We're beyond excited to have Taylor join us as a Project Manager. His passion, skills, and fresh perspective are sure to take our team to new heights. Taylor is a seasoned professional who joined the KVD team in 2024, infusing over 13 years of invaluable high-end residential experience into the firm. Blending a rare combination of creativity and pragmatism, Taylor is just as likely to wield a paintbrush on canvas as he is to meticulously pore over project details on the computer. A graduate of Mississippi State University with a degree in Landscape Architecture, Taylor embarked on his career journey in his hometown of Nashville. His energetic demeanor is matched only by his patience, a trait that proves indispensable when navigating the intricacies of long-term projects typical in their line of work. Taylor finds joy in the simple pleasures of life. An avid beekeeper and gardener, he relishes in the tranquility of nature and the satisfaction of nurturing life from seed to bloom. When he's not tending to his hives or cultivating his garden, Taylor cherishes every moment spent with his wife, lively toddler, and beloved dogs, embracing the joys and challenges of parenthood with boundless enthusiasm. Welcome aboard, Taylor! #KVD #NewHire #WelcomeTaylor

Alexis is a landscape designer from Atlanta, Georgia that graduated from The University of Georgia in 2023. With a rich history of exceptional leadership showcased throughout her academic journey, Alexis is a passionate advocate for crafting sustainable and functional landscapes that contribute positively to communities and the environment. During her time at The University of Georgia, Alexis actively collaborated with peers and faculty members, championing the core values of landscape architecture. Her leadership extended to various student organizations, including the Georgia Students of Landscape Architecture, where she spearheaded numerous community-based projects and events.

It's our pleasure to introduce another new member to the KVD team, Accounting and Business Manager Rebecca! Rebecca joins our team as our resident Bean Counter, Artist Wrangler, Treat Giver, and Mistress of the Files. She loves being surrounded by creative people and doing her part to help make the world a little more green. She is originally from New Orleans, LA, which mostly explains her love of lush green spaces, beautiful art, Halloween, and excellent seafood. It does not explain her love of organization, logic, and computer software. After living in various states over the last 20 years, she has made her home in the Nashville area with her family and loud/ opinionated Siberian husky. When she isn’t labeling everything with a purple pen, you can find Rebecca on the local trails, out in her garden, cooking something for a large group, planning her Halloween display, going to Disney, or reading a ridiculously long book in a short amount of time. Follow @rebecca_kvd on Instagram to see more creative KVD content! #KVD #kiservogrin #landscapearchitecture #employeespotlight #newemployee

Earlier this week KVD had a fun field trip up to the neuhoff_district in Nashville! Neuhoff is a new mixed-use site along the Cumberland River in historic Germantown. Originally home to Nashville's meat-packing district, this site will now feature office, retail, multi-family space, an amphitheater, outdoor entertainment space, and direct riverfront access. It was inspiring to see Neuhoff reusing salvaged brick, stone and other remnants of the original meat-packing plant. As Landscape Architects and Designers, having these amenities in our own backyard is so exciting! Thank you so much to Holland and Gavin at @newcityproperties for allowing us to visit and for being such fantastic tour guides! #KVD #kiservogrin #landscapedesigner #landscapearchitecture #tennessee #nashville #neuhoff

Joining KVD in 2022, she is excited to leave her mark on the Nashville landscape! This New Jersey native graduated with her BLA from Penn State (where she met Katie) in 2012. Kaylynn has worked with a spectrum of project types including healthcare, hospitality, multifamily and municipal recreation spaces and has been recognized on several award-winning projects. She is especially proud of her work on healing gardens and wellness spaces. Kay is an engaged mentor and champion of creating a nurturing and vibrant office culture. In her free time, she enjoys boating and traveling/camping with her husband and daughter in addition to renovating and flipping homes. Her most recent project is restoring a 1930’s craftsman in the heart of Nashville – her new primary residence! It's so great to have you on the team, Kaylynn!! #KVD #kiservogrin #landscapedesigner #landscapearchitecture #tennessee #nashville #newhire

Project Name: Berry Farms Town Center​ Project Year Completed: 2022​ Client: Boyle Investment Co.​ Consultants:​ General Contractor: DeAngelis Diamond Nashville​ Civil: Kimley Horn Associates​ Architect: @smithgeestudio Landscape Contractor: Viking Landscape​ Turf Supplier: @goatturf Berry Farms Town Center was designed with outdoor spaces for everybody. From a luxury pool and a dog park, to linear pocket parks, this new development has a lot to offer and all within walking distance of your front door. The designs incorporate curvilinear forms to create outdoor rooms that allow for flexible use of each space, whether you're working on your laptop or hanging with friends. The pool and grilling areas were designed to break up the spaces for year-round use and have been a huge hit for the Town Center residents. The dog park has also become a highly utilized feature that the dogs (and resident's) love!

He has successfully completed his first year of education and is excited to have landed at KVD for a summer internship! After office hours Rajith works on his website blog, Archinker.in.
