This simple yard was transformed into a vibrant food forest filled with apple, avocado, fig, lemon, nectarine, pear, and plum trees, along with grape, kiwi, and fruiting passion vines woven throughout the landscape. Raised beds provide space for seasonal vegetables and herbs, while lush planting beds of mostly California native flowers support pollinators and year-round ecological diversity.

A deck built from reclaimed lumber creates an inviting outdoor living space, while a smaller pergola nestled within the center of the garden supports flowering and fruiting vines overhead and provides a peaceful space for yoga, gathering, and relaxation immersed within the landscape.

A naturalistic creek bed and pond create the heart of the garden, fed by rainwater collected from the roof and redirected back into the landscape to recharge groundwater and support a regenerative low-water ecosystem.
