Before
The client\'s home is on a very steep, blackberry infested hill in Bremerton with remnants of an orchard overlooking Port Washington Inlet. The client wanted to transform the landscape into one with year-round color and texture, and create an arboretum that illustrated plant diversity, ecologically appropriate plant groupings, and pathways to explore the garden.
After
Several designs for different microclimates on the property were implemented over 5 years resulting in a cohesive whole that is now Albers Vista Gardens, a non-profit foundation dedicated to ensuring the continuation and preservation of the collection, provide learning and research opportunities in horticulture and to inspire and educate the public, particularly in regard to creation of sustainable landscapes and the selection and use of horticulturally exceptional plants for the Puget Sound region.
