Boxleaf rehabilitated a monoculture-lawn into a buzzing, biodiverse ecosystem, providing pollinator and bird habitats, fruit trees, and bountiful seasonal color. Analysis of the site’s topography and atmospheric conditions directed the preservation of native topsoil and minimized impact to natural drainage patterns. Selections of native and naturalized plantings, including Achillea, Daucas, Monardella and Zauschneria, create the backbone of this vibrant habitat garden. Gently curving gravel pathways usher the family through an orchard shaped by regenerative practices, where fruit trees are interplanted with seasonal cover crops and pollinator species to support soil health and groundwater recharge.
