When she first visited the site of the San Francisco Decorator Showcase 2015, landscape designer Katharine Webster was greeted by a blank, windowless wall along the entry to the home and a boxwood garden in front of an ivy-covered wall. Webster turned to drought-tolerant plants and art to fill the empty spaces and draw the eye from the street to the front door.

The Presidio Heights home featured in the showcase was built in 1917 for Abraham Rosenberg, whose company was the largest exporter of fruits and nuts in the early 20th century. Webster and her team created the pine and fir art installation to invoke deconstructed fruit packing crates.
