At Moreno, the garden was designed to feel as though the architecture had been placed within the landscape, rather than the landscape added around it.

Set at the intersection of two prominent streets in Pensacola, Florida, the gardens surround the law offices of J.J. Talbott and create a lush presence for those passing by. Oaks, magnolias, hydrangeas, azaleas, jasmine, ornamental grasses, and roses form layered streetscapes, while a mature Frantoio olive cascades gracefully over the property’s monument sign.

Confederate jasmine softens necessary architectural railings, allowing functional elements to recede into the garden. Limelight and Endless Summer hydrangeas bring generous bloom throughout the landscape, complemented by a sweeping hedge of fall-flowering sasanqua camellias.

More than 900 seasonal annuals are planted twice each year, transforming the streetscape into a changing tapestry of color and creating an almost Monet-like experience throughout the seasons.
