Evolving Edible Landscape
This six-year phased residential installation has included rainwater harvesting infrastructure followed by soil-building and hardscape, annual edibles, perennial living-fence edibles and ornamental plantings. Locally quarried stone was used in the hardscaping and an acequia-irrigated orchard thrives in the property’s bioswales.
