A GARDEN OF ARTFUL RE-USE
Alameda, CA | A little bit of everything was brought together to create this eclectic garden that will age to a lush, private paradise.
From an unusual mixed media patio to an arbor of reclaimed wood, a freestanding terra cotta seat wall to a pressed tin dining table,
this garden's design expresses the homeowners' playful and artistic spirit.
The San Francisco Bay Area's mediterranean climate allows
for an eclectic planting palette as well. Site-suitable plants with
striking color and structural interest were brought together to emphasize
contrast, and a generous wall of green will define the perimeter as attractive
and effective screening plants grow to provide privacy and fully enclose this very special garden.
