Healdsburg Riverfront Garden
Location Healdsburg, California
Setting Russian River property
Established 2023
Located along the Russian River, this garden transforms a large raised planter beneath the deck into a lush, layered backdrop for the lower riverfront terrace. What was once a bare planting area now connects the home and outdoor living spaces to the surrounding landscape.
Sculptural plants, ornamental grasses, succulents, and softer flowering foliage bring texture, color, and movement to the garden. Selected for Healdsburg’s hot, dry summers, the water-wise palette has grown together over time, softening the structure of the deck and creating an increasingly lush composition.
Twice completely submerged by floodwaters, the garden has remarkably bounced back each time, continuing to grow and establish. Its resilience has become part of the story of this small but mighty riverfront garden.
