Mediterranean Potager

Residential Project

Project Summary

Great landscapes don’t compete with history—they celebrate it.

For this historic Northern California estate, Farmscape transformed an overlooked side yard into a productive edible garden that feels as though it has always belonged. Existing brickwork, mature trees, iron gates, and a restored century-old greenhouse became the foundation for a landscape that honors the property’s heritage while supporting everyday life.

Project Goals

Preserve and celebrate the property’s historic character.
Create productive gardens that feel timeless and original to the estate.
Maximize edible production through thoughtful space planning, vertical growing, and curated containers.
Design around mature trees and existing architectural features.
Blend formal European garden traditions with a California Mediterranean planting palette.

Drawing inspiration from traditional French and English parterre gardens through a California Mediterranean lens, the design balances formal structure with abundant harvests. Vertical growing, curated pots, and thoughtfully integrated edible plantings maximize productivity without compromising the timeless character of the estate.
