Center for Urban Horticulture McVay Courtyard

McVay Courtyard garden is located in the middle of the Center for Urban Horticulture, providing easy access into and among the surrounding buildings. The restricted plant pallete emphasizes grasses and plants with grass-like foliage. This common characteristic unites the design while allowing different leaf shapes, colors, and textues to provide subtle variety. Restricting the range of plants also makes for a distinctly different design that encourages people to notice and observe the details.
