Pine Jog Elementary

This truly unique LEED® collaborative is a partnership between the School District of Palm Beach County and Florida Atlantic University. 

WGI was provided an opportunity to partner with the center to provide landscape architecture services for the design of an educational garden to be located within the grounds of the Education Center. The goal was to create a demonstration garden utilizing one hundred percent native plant materials to educate the center’s users on the various methods by which native plant materials can be successfully incorporated into a residential landscape setting. In combination with the use of native plant materials, special attention was given to utilizing plant materials with low water needs that would support a variety of native wildlife species. Through the use of these design strategies, a garden was created that not only complements the culture of sustainability existing throughout the center but also serves as an educational resource to the surrounding community.
