Tobi Wilde in Santa Fe New Mexican
Letter To The Editor
from Adam Steinberg, Indigo Spirit Landscapes
As the owner of Indigo Spirit Landscapes I am disappointed that the “Spreading Out” article in the Ideas Home and Garden magazine of 4/16 failed to adequately appreciate the design talent of Tobi Loffer and the role that she plays as the Landscape Design Artist with my company. Tobi brings magnificent, inspired vision and the sprinkles of fairy dust to the projects that she designs. With her input our work is brought to a new aesthetic level of juicy, vitality and elegance. Although she was not credited, both of the sights featured in the photos were examples of her design work. For more examples of her work with my company go to tobiwilde.com.

“I believe in fantasy,” Loffer said. “We create beauty … little coves enveloped with magic. We don’t abuse nature. We choose what is natural to the environment.”
For example, Steinberg said, try “a mosaic of different colored plants and flagstones.”
One residential landscape project of theirs on the East side featured a three-foot flagstone walkway leading to a 15 by 10-foot sunken room anchored by four trees and three rough stone benches. Cobblestones and river rock created a miniature wall edging the area.
Steinberg worked with Gerald Peters to create the Gerald Peters Gallery’s water feature. It includes a monumental rock wall fountain, a kidney-shaped koi pond surrounded by iris and aspens and bronze wildlife sculptures along with an undulating three-foot rock wall that delineates the yard’s border…
