He creates magical spaces and his artistry and knowledge of plants is unsurpassed. His revolutionary creations of living walls have been created in massive scales for a variety of high profile businesses in and around San Francisco, bringing life in otherwise lifeless environments. Brandon's artistry extends to smaller business (living cocktail herb walls) and individual homes. He is remarkable. **★★★★★ — Lucile Glessner Design, April 2016** > I have had the real pleasure to work with Davis Dalbok and his fabulous team at Living Green Design. They helped me achieve the jungle look for an office design by adding 15' trees and lots of plants. Their professionalism, creativity and incredible talent come for their passion for everything green. I recommend them highly and look forward to working with them again. **★★★★★ — Kristin Riccio Interior Design, March 2016** > The Team at Living Green Design are always a pleasure to work with!! They're on top of their game, absolute experts and willing to go the extra mile every time. You can find the most unique gems while enjoying everything they have to offer. Prepare to be surprised and impressed!! One of my favorite vendors! **★★★★★ — Florafelt Vertical Gardens, April 2015** > Living Green has impeccable taste to transform your garden into a literal paradise. A deep knowledge of horticulture coupled with access to exotic artifacts bring you world-class design. We worked with them on Decorator Showcase Houses and multiple projects to erect jaw-dropping living walls and vertical gardens. ## Selected projects - [Public Market Vertical Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/public-market-vertical-garden-pj-vj~1648228) - Location: Oakland, CA - Photos: 5 - Description: This is a stunning vertical garden created for Public Market in Emeryville, CA.
