Descanso Gardens Master Plan
Descanso GardensLa Canada Flintridge, CA
Building on Descanso Gardens’ strategic plan, the master plan helped the Gardens achieve near self-sufficiency in water and energy use, and become self-contained in terms of waste disposal and recycling. For a garden as beautiful as Descanso, demonstrating sustainability is truly a worthy vision. The Portico team assessed the feasibility of all aspects of self-sufficiency by identifying potential methods and technologies, assessing their application to the specific site and operations, and identifying the true value and cost of accomplishing the Gardens’ vision.
