31-Overland Oasis

Peruse your guidebook in a hammock under a canopy of branches and birdsong! This engaging backyard complements a 1927 Spanish Bungalow and showcases more than 60 native plants. A flagstone fountain and bi-level patio are surrounded by Ceanothus, fruit trees, and potted succulents. Curving paths lead to a native garden and dry creek bed, crossing a small patch of lawn where a resident 100-yearold tortoise grazes. A second water feature attracts birds and other fauna, while a potting bench, compost bins, rain barrel, and several hybrid roses are hidden around the bend.
