Ponte Vedra Landscape & Design Project

A South Florida-Inspired Landscape With a Backyard Butterfly Garden

This Ponte Vedra homeowner wanted the lush look of South Florida, but with plants that could thrive in Northeast Florida. The backyard also needed to become a pollinator and butterfly garden for the kids.

The Final Result

A blank-slate yard became a colorful, lush, family-friendly landscape with a South Florida-inspired feel and a backyard butterfly garden.
