Lush Elements

Lush Elements is celebrating 12 years in 2026! Have you wondered where it all started?

Terra Basche, Founder and Lead Designer, is an artist who loves to get her hands dirty. Born and raised on the Hawaiian Islands and growing a family in Santa Barbara has inspired her to mimic nature’s beauty. With an eye for design, Terra is able to take a challenge and make it a reality for anyone who wishes to bring nature’s beauty to life within a space. Working with a variety of natural materials and systems allows Terra to design in a myriad of spaces indoors and outdoors, vertically and floor bound. Terra has built an impressive network of artisans and growers who bring stunningly unique elements to each custom project.

Thanks for the shout-out, Matt Kettmann and the Santa Barbara Independent! Such a beautiful event at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden.
