Water Wise Habitat Patch

Tucked into a small lot in Boise Idaho’s Northend, is an unusual Waterwise landscape compared to the neighboring green lawns. This front yard mixes native and non-native drought tolerant plants with various colors, textures and habitat benefits growing next to a raised bed vegetable garden and fruiting espaliered trees. The perennial beds are watered deeply 1-2x per week in the heat of the Summer and less if at all in the Spring and Fall!

 

Edible Landscaping - Boise, Id

This is the garden that served as the test grounds for Isabelle as she studied for her Associates in Horticulture. It quickly developed into a cottage garden full of herbs, perennials, fruiting shrubs and trees and some annuals. This was the Bee Wise Gardens playground for 5 years before moving headquarters to Nampa Idaho.
