Magnificent Monarch Wonderland
Berkeley, CA
This yard had been beautiful and lush at one point, but many of the plants were nearing the end of their life cycle, and the area had become messy and overgrown. It was definitely time for a refresh! Large trees were removed to make way for smaller, fresh plantings with different bloom times so that color would abound throughout the year. The client was obsessed with monarchs, and wanted to create a space in her yard for them to land and thrive. We created a beautiful planting island that included a space to attract monarchs, as well as grow fresh cut flowers to bring inside for bouquets. We also extended the outdoor living space with a large poured concrete paver patio, and installed a decomposed granite pathway to allow for ease of entry and exit from the front to the new shed and the freshly installed poured concrete paver patio. Once we were done, the Monarch sanctuary was complete and soon after, the butterflies arrived!
