Project Description

A central feature of this residential design project is the prairie-meadow garden area that managed as an open park with a focus on reestablishing natural herb flora, the native herbaceous upland-flatwoods plant communities endemic to the Florida Parishes. This prairie field has spacious mowed turf trails that carry you comfortably as you stroll through the plantings of native grasses and wildflowers. The new landscape adds a year round aesthetic appeal and artistic textural interest while providing for a laundry list of ecological services.  The client has been able to dramatically reduce management time, costs, and their own carbon footprint by reducing the management associated with the property, but at the same time, enjoying it more.
