Louisiana born and California-licensed Landscape Architect Cary Bush founded Merge Studio in 2007. Prior, he studied site design with an emphasis on site planning, reclamation & ecology. Cary is a fisherman, consciously pursuing a school of site-specific elements into arrangements designating use and purpose. He ties knots fusing design and science, the natural with the built. Cary loves clean water, healthy hikes, and intrinsic spaces with significance and aesthetic quality.
Native to swampy conditions, Cary is also able to withstand dry, sunny weather and is hardy in USDA climate zones 5 through 10. He is often grown as an ornamental.
