LEONA BOTANICAL CAFE
Botanical Eatery transforms an underutilized Sunset Valley site into a hyperlocal botanical destination rooted in ecological stewardship, sensory experience, and community connection. More than 90 mature trees were preserved, with 75 additional trees planted and 19,000 square feet conserved as native habitat. Over 7,000 native and adapted plants support biodiversity, pollinators, and seasonal change. Integrated Low Impact Development strategies, including a detention basin, recirculating water-quality stream, irrigation field, and cistern, create a closed-loop water system. Reclaimed limestone, custom site elements, Dark Sky lighting, and edible plantings seamlessly connect landscape, culture, and cuisine.
