You may arrive at this whimsical garden as a stress-filled adult, but you will probably leave as a carefree child.  Nick Federoff of Things Green calls this gardener the “Plant Whisperer”.  The creeping fig-covered  English-Tudor manor overlooks a front yard that boasts an enchanting, scaled hobbit village with several water features and is dappled with many salvias and English perennials.  Faces on the cultured stone walls follow you down a cobbled path that leads you to a fantasy rear yard that continues the whimsical themes. Notice the “tree people” on your way to meander over the bridge of a large waterfall in your quest to discover why a baby bear is peeking into an open window.  A look at all the faces on the walls and trees leads one to wonder, “What could they be thinking?!?”   This 13-time grand-prize winner of the Cerritos “City Wide Pride” has been showcased several times on PBS and has been shown on local cable’s  “These Curious Times”.  In addition to being used as a backdrop for several television spots and news features, Huell Howser of California’s Gold fame filmed this home and garden.  Not to be missed! Bring a camera and the sense of wonder from that little child still within you.
