Background & Client Goals
My client lives in a duplex house with a shared entrance and front yard. There is steep terrain leading down the side of the house to the backyard. The soil had become eroded and washed out over the years, making it difficult for plants to take root and thrive. With a love of gardening and growing vegetables, but also tending to the shared front yard, my client wanted a garden she could easily maintain on her own. Her goal was to continue growing vegetables and edible plants around her patio, and establish a thriving garden of native plants growing along a stone path. She also hoped her garden would become an attractive habitat for hummingbirds and pollinators.
