Come and see how an old tennis court was converted into 5 distinctive gardens. They are a Certified Wildlife Habitat home and an Official Monarch Butterfly Way Station.  Gardens include Italian, Drought-Tolerant, Grassy Amphitheater, Tropical, and Fruit Orchard—all in a relaxing place to visit and linger. You’ll meet numerous whimsical characters, such as Bella Boulder Belly peeking out from a canopy in the Tropical Garden and Senor Rustio playing the accordion for you at the pool. Wandering from front to back, you will see over 350 trees and countless plants from many different parts of the world. View the cycads ranging from South Africa to the South Pacific, Fishtail Palms from Thailand, and many cacti native to the Southwest. It is something special when even the wildlife finds this a great place to visit, like our winged friends, the cooper’s hawks, barn owls, generations of Anna’s hummingbirds, and even a pair of pin-tailed whydahs. Great believers in recycling, the Heimans catch rainwater in barrels to water their gardens. The cement that once surrounded the tennis court has become planters, and the asphalt from the court has become a hill in the tropical garden.
