This half acre garden designed by Sean Hogan of Cistus Design Nursery is entering its thirteenth year and emphasizes Mediterranean acclimated plants. The front entry garden, with Nolina, Agave, Arbutus, Arctostaphylos, Dickonsonia antarctica, and several large Quercus suber; surrounds a decomposed granite courtyard. The back garden has a reflecting pool facing a broad, graveled courtyard flanked by Trachycarpus, agave ovatifolia and a Jubaea chilensis. Wide gravel paths lead to broad leaved evergreen trees and shrubs, several tropical areas and several large succulent beds with a rock crevice section. The green roofed garden shed is adjacent to various eucalyptus varieties and several beds of bamboo. For photos of the garden check out Loree Bohl's blog, Danger Garden, September 17, 2013 entry.
