In Hollywood’s hills, garden designer Lauri Kranz of Edible Gardens LA conceived a chic enclosure more reminiscent of an Apple store than of deer fencing.
Here’s how to recreate Kranz’ stylish edible garden:
Kranz earned a reputation as the “godmother of LA gardens” for her stylish edible gardens. This modernist deer deterrent, with its extra-tall beams, orthogonal panels, and matte black frame stands out even among the views and lush greenery.

Height is key to creating this space.
For high glamor, paint it black. Among our favorites: Benjamin Moore’s Black Panther and Farrow & Ball’s Railings.
Smooth pebbles allow for gardening while barefoot, and all-white stones elegantly offset black paint.
A pair of long narrow beds, positioned side-by-side, creates symmetry and reinforces the grid pattern. While it’s designed to assemble in ten minutes or less, pre-made boxes also can be found at Scout Regalia.
Installing poultry netting is a straightforward process, even for those new to DIY. In the States, Lowes carries Blue Hawk 48 Inch By 50 Feet Silver Galvanized Steel Poultry Netting for $37.88.
A sturdy Black Satin Slide Bolt Latch, $7.99 at True Value, keeps the gate closed.
Why not add a mini bistro set to take in the view?
