/* =========================================================================
   Estuary Trees & Gardens — house theme
   Signature idea: "Growth Rings / Estuary Contours" — concentric organic
   rings that read at once as a tree cross-section AND as the contour lines of
   the Peel estuary the business is named for. Deep estuary green + warm coastal
   limestone + one warm-amber accent (canopy sunlight).
   Type: Fraunces (organic optical serif, display) + Manrope (body).
