Restorative landscape approaches

This project will demonstrate the applicability of various restorative landscape technologies by using the following approaches:

  • Soils amendment using organic matter for health.
  • Biophilic design through the used of curving, natural landforms.
  • Subtle level changes on an otherwise flat site.
  • Raised planting beds for greater accessibility by all ages and physical ranges-of-motion.
  • Introduction of places of repose for small gatherings.
  • As with all UHC projects, symbiotic edible and flowering plant combinations for food production, habitat creation, and beauty.
