The Manilkara garden is a remarkable landscape project that perfectly blends the natural beauty of a Bahamian island with a functional garden. The landscape architects were tasked with preserving and restoring the existing natural Bahamian coppice and coastal dune vegetation that had withstood consistent strong, salt-laden offshore winds for many years. Despite the extreme site conditions, RJI was able to create a low-irrigation garden that utilized sustainable and native materials.
The design prioritized pedestrian experience and minimized vehicular impact while maximizing the visual impact of nature. The landscape architects incorporated an ADA accessible pathway to ensure that all visitors could access the garden.
The plant palette consists of mostly native species that are able to withstand intense salt-laden winds, sandy soil, and high heat. The team diverted the site's rainfall to shallow retention areas, providing habitat for an extensive palette of local flora.
The Manilkara garden is sure to become a legacy campus for the client's family, enjoyed for play, contemplation, and special occasions throughout the coming years.
