HARVARD HEIGHTS

Status: Installed

Materials: Flagstones, boulders, wood stumps for seating, wooden raised beds

Flora: California natives, edibles, cut flowers, citrus trees

In this Harvard Heights back yard, we transformed an 800 square foot lot into a functional space for food production and entertaining. Working with the site's full morning sun and partial afternoon light, we preserved the existing lemon and kumquat trees and added two raised beds for rotating seasonal vegetables like lettuce, kale, fennel, and cucumbers. A wood-fired pizza oven and picnic table seating ten accommodate the family's love of cooking and entertaining. A dedicated cut flower and herb zone supplies fresh blooms for the house and culinary herbs for the kitchen.
