The Living Edge
Downtown Providence, RI 02903
The Living Edge is a small waterfront public park installation along the Providence River near South Water Street. Designed as a biodegradable landscape project, it transforms a former lawn into a more natural public space with meadow plantings, young trees, mulch paths, and log-style seating at the river’s edge. The space was created to show how Providence’s waterfront could become more ecologically resilient while still welcoming people to gather, rest, and connect with the river in the middle of downtown.

over the past year I had the privilege of being a part of the first CityWorks cohort, working through a collaborative process to create a unique RFP to solicit creative strategies towards resiliency in PVD along the river. Thursday evening from 5-7pm we will be celebrating & unveiling #livingedgepvd a landscape intervention in resilient design by adameanderson. head to downcitydesign to rsvp!
Yep, still one of our favorite park spots downtown 🥰

Golden hour at #livingedgepvd. Despite the drought this Summer this wild space along the river is still hanging on and providing a respite from the city, within the city.

The purpose in a person’s heart is like deep water, but a person of understanding will draw it out. Proverbs 20:5

A surprising gift from this weird season was finding a life coach. It’s mind blowing how gifted shreves is at pulling the deep things of my heart up so I can confront them. It’s not easy as I realize how many things have been ignored or stifled in there. Spirit, soul, and body....we are wonderfully complex. It’s been transformative to have someone help me rest, receive love, and find the confidence to pursue the desires of my heart.

Praying you will have space and time to know how loved you are, the things you are created to do, and the courage to pursue them wholeheartedly!
