With a little love and care, harvesting food from your own backyard is incredibly rewarding. Not only is it an enriching experience that gets you active and outside, but it also provides nourishing ingredients for recipes, snacking, or even a cocktail. Korina wanted to share her harvest of fruits and veggies from this year. Her backyard garden includes six dwarf citrus, an apple, a loquat, and a weeping mulberry, five blueberries, a strawberry patch, and seven pots of assorted sizes for seasonal vegetables. She wanted to show that it doesn't take much space to have such a bountiful harvest!

Designed and installed in 2020, this Huntington Beach client took advantage of the MWDOC turf rebate program, removing nearly 2600 square feet of thirsty lawn and replacing it with low-water trees, shrubs, and seating areas. The design is full of outdoor living spaces, water retention features and incorporates various captivating textures and colors. Vivid strawberry and olive trees line the fence, creating an enclosed atmosphere perfect for a peaceful hammock nap to bring tranquility to the day.

Home to three tortoises, this backyard design features pet-safe plants alongside edible grapes and blueberries for humans. The tortoise enclosures and hardscaping were built in collaboration with Luna and Sons Concrete. The grass has been replaced with Kurapia, an evergreen ground cover that requires less water than the previous grass. We incorporated the existing mature Ginkgo tree in the left corner into our design, adding privacy and adding to the yard’s atmosphere with its tall structure.

Interesting textures and vibrant colors from the plants at this whimsical beachside home bring so much personality to the space. Even on a cloudy spring morning, the garden is incredibly lively and full of character. The mix of decorations, seating areas, and a variety of plants create a delightful and inviting atmosphere that makes it unique. Custom-raised veggie beds were placed along the side of this home as it receives the most sun. This garden is a charmer, no matter the weather.
