Sanctuary of Yum

This garden, called Sanctuary of Yum by its owners, is a four-acre property that originally consisted of fifty-year-old avocado and pomegranate orchards that were in decline. The owners lovingly restored the orchards through pruning and planting cover crops with pollinators, among other natural techniques. 

We designed several other areas to complement what already existed, including a temple garden; a multipurpose space they call the Dragon’s Den which has a hot/cold tub, seating for dining, a dance floor, and a Balinese entry; an eighty-foot pergola farm table for hosting farm to table events; over 3000 square feet of vegetable and flower terraces; a new waterfall and pond; and walking and driving paths to connect everything.
