Located in the Topanga hills, this client wanted to combine permaculture elements with a retreat-style atmosphere. Their landscape remodel for their rentals at Mother Topanga included a medicinal herb garden flanking the outdoor bathtubs and spa area, a terraced orchard with fruit trees and perennial understory, and a small kitchen garden with vegetables easily accessible to the house. The whole family was able to participate in the planting of some of the trees that they will enjoy for years to come.
