Reflecting the historic character of her nearly 100-year-old Spanish Revival home, Sonia’s garden is perfectly suited for our Southern California climate.  Five years ago, the front lawn was removed and replaced with a decomposed granite island and a dry creek bed.  In the backyard, a small lawn remains that is paired with another DG island surrounded by drought-tolerant plants.  The landscape blends together native plants, succulents, cacti, and low-water shrubs and trees which fill the yard with colorful blooms throughout the year.  Late winter begins with pink blossoms on the redbud trees.  Spring brings cascades of orange California poppies.  Several plants bring pops of purple blooms from spring through fall.  Cactus and succulent flowers do their part to add to this floral chorus.  Adding their own splashes of color and interest is a large collection of Talavera planters, varieties of butterflies, and even some canines.  Come step inside Sonia’s inviting and colorful palette.
