Native Plant Design and Installation – Delray Beach Historical House (Delray Beach, Florida)

This was a special project we completed in 2021 for a couple living 300 yards from the beach in Delray. The owner was associated with the Delray Historical Society and found a house originally built in the 1920s saved from demolition around the year 2000. The entire house was picked up and relocated to Seaspray Avenue to be restored and remodeled.  

We had somewhat of a blank pallet to work with as there was nothing but lawn in the extreme front of the house under two beautiful specimen Oak trees. Working closely with the owner, the design focused on native plant species and water preservation. The goal was to create a garden attracting all species of birds and pollinators while “modernizing” the curbside look and feel of a historical home. The original chimney stack was decorated with a customized trellis using Lonicera sempervirens (Coral Honeysuckle Vine) as the climber. A pathway was constructed to the front porch from the driveway wrapping around to the side gate. A large percentage of the irrigation in the front yard was modified to low flow or drip. An excellent feature added in the landscape was a small rain garden used to grow several native plants for show in the front of the property.  We enjoyed designing, building, and maintaining this native plant garden.
