The Farms of Jacksonville

The Rogue Valley is primarily known for its pear orchards and is the inspiration for the landscape design and ultimately became the principle element. Many fruit trees planted throughout the community in perfect rows emulates the linear planting of real orchards and creates consistency throughout the unique landscape design. All of the hardscape features were designed to suggest the remnants of the orchard's original farm house, barn, and utilities. The "original" smokehouse, outfitted with a fireplace, will be an indoor/outdoor gathering place for residents. The "old" well is now a water fountain. The "old" feed trough is now a raised planter in the central courtyard, and the "old" earthen ramp that was used in the barn and its foundation will serve as the main water feature and seating area.

...that’s agri-chic.
