Leisurely Gentlemen

Welcome to the magical garden of Bruce and Darrin! They approached us with a desire to create a wildlife friendly garden full of bright bold color to compliment their new home. What followed was truly a delightful process of working together. The garden reflects their zest and passion for enjoying the best of what life has to offer. Truly an inspiration!

To the North, we transformed a small lifeless side yard into a relaxing courtyard filled with the sound of a bubbling fountain. Previously, there was no private outdoor living space. And now, they enjoy comfortably lounging in a custom daybed big enough for the whole family! The playful mural created by the brilliant artist @lettiejanemakes brightens up the space and celebrates their beloved pups.

In the sunny public facing garden we planted a climate adaptable pollinator garden full of drought tolerant shrubs, perennials, and grasses. What was once a thirsty patch of lawn is now a bustling space for wildlife and community that brims with joy and optimism.

The work of so many wonderful craftspeople came together to bring this garden to life. What a great team!

This garden received a Gold Certification from the Backyard Habitat Program.
