Donna Giguere Landscape Design

Donna Giguere Landscape Design is a landscaping firm in Portland, OR, specializing in the creation of unique and personalized gardens. The business has operated since 1996, focusing on low-maintenance outdoor spaces designed to provide sanctuary and comfort. Donna Giguere, the lead designer, holds an art degree in sculpture from Portland State University and studied horticulture alongside her landscape design education at Clackamas Community College. Her work is recognized by awards from the Association of Professional Landscape Designers, including a Landscape Design Award, a Wildlife Habitat Award, and a Water Wise Gardening Award at the 2001 Portland Home and Garden Show. In 2005, her display garden received the Silver Award, the Palette Award for use of color, and the Art Award. She is a certified Fellow of the international Association of Professional Landscape Designers and a founding member of its Oregon chapter.

Her design approach prioritizes the selection of the right plant for the right place, considering ease of maintenance, rate of growth, edibility, drought tolerance, and disease resistance. She combines native and introduced non-invasive plants to attract birds, butterflies, and beneficial pollinating insects. Hardscaping elements such as metal, wood, and stone are used through fences, arbors, pergolas, retaining walls, and courtyards to add texture and dimension. Donna’s process involves careful listening to client needs, influenced by home architecture and family lifestyle, with a goal of preserving native plant and wildlife habitat. She offers landscape consultation, full landscape design, and installation consultation, including plant placement to ensure the finished product fulfills the design intent.

The studio is located at 3651 SE Bybee Blvd, a short distance from Berkeley Park and the Alex Rovello Memorial Courts. It is also near Holy Family Catholic School and Puddletown Montessori School, with Reed College Parkway and the Eastmoreland neighborhood within a few blocks.
