The California drought persists in bringing this garden renewed life as the front yard continues to evolve from a large, water-thirsty lawn to ever-expanding planting beds. Over 50 roses, lavenders, and a border of jasmine perfume the air. Drought-tolerant lamb ears, little ollies, and rosemary lend a hand to the cottage garden look–all while keeping water use down. A small kitchen garden fills the courtyard. You enter the Mediterranean-style backyard through a long, succulent-filled walk, shaded by four large magnolia trees. The garden opens with an outdoor living space. Beyond that, you will find lush garden beds, a water fountain, fruit trees, and several places to sit and enjoy the view. Hidden from sight in a previously little-used side yard is now a prominently featured cast iron greenhouse surrounded by fuchsia, jasmine, roses, and ferns. This Certified Wildlife Habitat is designed to encourage pollinators, wildlife, and tour participants alike.
