John Hreno’s work at Terra Ferma Landscapes
A planted courtyard brings the character of a Napa garden to San Francisco's SoMa neighborhood. Olive trees, vine-covered walls and flexible seating create an intimate setting for gathering.

This coveted 1,000-square-foot open space is located in a rapidly developing area of San Francisco, just two blocks from the nearby ballpark. It is the home of JAX Vineyards' year-round outdoor Wine Court and Tasting Room. The garden design features versatile seating areas for events of all sizes, a fire table surrounded by built-in lounge seating, mature olive trees and grape vines, raised planters with colorful and textural plantings, dramatic evening lighting, and vine-covered walls.
