About Sacred Breadth

Lori Young is a garden and landscape designer specializing in creating sacred spaces for healing, contemplation, and reflection. Her work integrates landscape design with ecological awareness and supporting design influences including Feng Shui, Biodynamics, BioGeometry, and Native American Healing Arts. Through her work, Lori fosters harmony between the natural elements—earth, flora, fauna—and humanity, cultivating spaces that support the healing of the whole living system.

Growing up in the foothills of the Adirondacks, Lori considered nature her first classroom. Her journey as a designer led her through New Jersey and Pennsylvania, where she studied Environmental Design and Major Native Landscapes at Delaware Valley University. She also holds a Master’s Degree in Interfaith Ministry. Throughout her career, Lori has designed landscapes for a variety of environments, including hospitals, religious institutions, non-profits, and residential properties, creating healing gardens, edible landscapes, and children’s gardens.

Lori believes that healing begins with honoring Mother Earth. By nurturing the land through organic and regenerative practices, she works to support the restoration of balance in environments impacted by urban development, technology, and pollution.

Now based in Rochester, New York, Lori spends much of her time immersed in nature, continuing to deepen her connection to the sacredness of place and supporting the healing of the natural world. Her goal is to create healthy, enduring landscapes that serve both present and future generations.
