Nestled in a brook side valley with mature oaks and redwoods, this property in Lafayette, CA, was transformed from water-loving lawns and birch trees, to a thoughtfully revitalized low water use garden.
The team, led by David Thorne Landscape Architecture, were tasked with designing a family garden with plants that could withstand and thrive in the heat and drought of the California climate. They took inspiration from the Mediterranean architecture of the property, which naturally informed some of the key planting choices.
