RICE FRONT GARDEN DESIGN | APRIL 2008
Low water, All Organic, Sustainable, Garden Restoration

This low water, visually engaging garden design highlights the modification of an existing concrete walkway to allow permeability and the removal & replacement of turf-lawn with fast spreading ground covers and mulch. We've also added berry, nectar and other flowering plants that attract bees and other insects. The result is an elegant, uncluttered, low-water, low-maintenance design which compliments the playful exterior color and architecture of the home while functioning seamlessly in the environment.

FEATURED GARDEN: CAMPISI GARDEN RESTORATION
Low water, All Organic, Sustainable, Garden Restoration
This garden design & restoration was created for a client who wanted to provide lizard habitat and increase plant diversity in his family's garden. With clearly displayed labels for all plants, including many California-natives, visitors can learn about plants while viewing the thriving insect and animal life in this local park like setting.
