Living Wall Installation at Bonita Golf Course
The Bonita Golf Course sought to reimagine its restaurant patio as part of a broader remodeling effort. This popular outdoor space, used for dining, drinking, and lounging, needed an elevated focal point to enhance the guest experience.
Our client envisioned a feature that would draw people in, inspire connection, and provide a beautiful backdrop for photos—something that captured the beauty of nature while complementing the serene landscape of the golf course. To achieve this, they chose a living wall as the ideal solution, aiming to create an inviting atmosphere and a sense of allure that guests would return to time and again.
We designed and installed a 24' wide by 7' high living tapestry that transforms the patio’s largest wall into a lush and vibrant work of art. This living wall features a carefully curated selection of mixed sun exposure plant species, ensuring harmony with the patio’s ambience and continuity with the surrounding landscaping. Plants such as black mondo grass, Heuchera 'plum pudding', Heuchera maxima, New Zealand sedge, and Serbian bellflower were chosen for their resilience and seasonal appeal, providing year-round beauty in varied hues and textures.
The living wall’s structure and plant palette not only enhance the aesthetic of the patio but also bring functional benefits. It moderates temperature, provides natural sound insulation, and creates an intimate yet open atmosphere perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation. The design encourages guests to gather, take photos, and share their experience, making the living wall a true centerpiece of the patio.
The Outcome
The living wall has transformed the Bonita Golf Course restaurant patio into a destination in its own right. Guests are drawn to the wall's striking design and the tranquil atmosphere it creates. The vibrant tapestry of plants provides an ever-changing visual experience, offering new beauty with each season. The wall has become a natural gathering point for visitors, a popular photo backdrop, and a symbol of the golf course's commitment to providing exceptional experiences. The patio now exudes an elevated, nature-inspired charm that leaves a lasting impression on every guest, ensuring they want to return to bask in its beauty again and again.
