About the Garden
We invite you to wander through and sit awhile to enjoy floral abundance and lush leafiness spreading along curved paths, appearing within half-hidden spaces, surrounding the pond, draping over walls, and spilling romantically from arbors. These features of the traditional cottage garden are reimagined here with California native plants, mostly chaparral, with their vibrant colors and delicious scents that attract pollinating insects, birds, lizards, and other creatures. Welcome to our cottage garden with a wild heart.
