These beautiful, two feet tall cedar gardens were created and designed in conjunction with the building of this West University home in 2018.
An avid cook, Anu, has utilized the fresh vegetables and herbs growing in her garden each day for her gourmet, healthy meals she prepares for her family.
We have continued to provide seasonal maintenance during the change of each season in Houston. Including adding fresh, organic compost, seeds and new organic plants in order to maximize the growing space.
