Jacob's House

This page needs to be edited after the New Google Sites messed it up.

Summary and objectives of the project:

An entrance garden was designed and planted for a local non-profit hospital hospitality house. The primary objective was to create a landscape that was not only water wise and low maintenance but also a lush garden rich in texture and color that would contribute to the comfort and serenity so needed by hospitality house guests who have a family member hospitalized nearby, suffering a traumatic medical event. A secondary objective was to provide a demonstration garden to give information and inspiration on ways local homeowners might modify their own gardens to conserve water, reduce maintenance, encourage pollinators, and create a pleasing and sustainable outdoor environment.

In October 2016, we received this email from Jacob's House along with an invitation to attend the Ribbon Cutting event:
