As One Beverly Hills takes shape, Cain and RIOS, the global design collective, have begun the process of hand-selecting trees for the development’s 10 acres of botanical gardens and green space in a process known as tree-tagging.
Speaking to the Courier, John Pearson, a senior landscape architect at RIOS, explained that tree-tagging involves an intentional and bespoke practice of traveling to plant nurseries throughout the state to identify trees that will meet the standards of One Beverly Hills.
