We have been excited to be a part of a wonderful Edible Landscape Makeover in Livermore. John Ertel was the winner of the contest and the project was started last August and completed late last year. John's home is at 812 S K Street in Livermore and the community is encouraged to watch the progress as the landscape matures and changes seasonally. The home recieved a totally new landscape, which includes fruit trees, grapes, berries and a collection of vegetables. See Susan Ballinger's design for the home (left).
