In a proclamation read by Mayor Pro Tem Rebecca Minnick, owners “Matthew and Rachel Buchanan and their design team were recognized for their tremendous initiative in creating an environmentally sustainable, unique, and beautiful destination of which the entire Wimberley community can be proud.”The recognition followed the completion of The Leaning Pear’s recent expansion that included a new bar with a spacious covered patio and an expanded parking area, connected by an elevated walkway. “The Buchanans,” the proclamation stated, “brought together several innovative and complementary elements, including a one-water approach to water conservation through rainwater collection and solar panels to gather clean energy, native landscaping for beauty, and ecological integrity, and the cultivation of herbs for use in the restaurant's kitchen, while also providing additional green space and parking designed to promote aquifer recharge through pervious pavers and other techniques to respect the dark sky.”<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1N7rGW_1Gz2aeW600" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1N7rGW_1Gz2aeW600" width="1643" height="1261" ><figcaption>Presenting the Keep Wimberley Beautiful award are, left to right, KWB member Georgeanne Loesch, Leaning Pear employee Adrian who creates the restaurant’s décor, Leaning Pear owners Matthew and Rachel Buchanan and KWB President Kat Locke.&nbsp; Submitted Photo</figcaption></figure>Earlier in the week, the Keep Wimberley Beautiful organization surprised the Buchanans with their Biannual Community award for “consistently embracing native plantings and sustainable water conservation projects at their business.” Keep Wimberley Beautiful promotes clean and beautiful communities by keeping them litter-free and by preserving the natural environment, by empowering residents to take initiative at the local level and by partnering with individuals and public and private organizations who are similarly committed to their mission.</div></body>
