The Habitat Garden
The design incorporates a water conservation concept whereby both roof and greenhouse runoff water are collected and diverted into a series of artificial wetlands that will biologically filter the water for use in the garden.
The garden showcases West Coast indigenous plants, trees and shrubs, as they could be used in an environmentally friendly home garden setting; one that minimizes maintenance, water, artificial fertilizers, and is deer resistant. The design has incorporated facilities for observing the site as a self contained eco-system.
