Brick paved paths wind through the abundant plantings, a water feature, and trellises. Garden structures provide storage, a potting shed and workshop. A porch anchors the “ casita” to the house and a large covered patio provides plenty of room for outdoor activities and even includes a handmade redwood booth for al fresco meals. A large number of native plants and other flowering shrubs that include: Ten different roses bushes, many varieties of irises, jasmine, wisteria, lilacs(purple and white), Fuchsia, Mock orange bushes(2 varieties), Clematis, Shasta Daisies, salvia, lobelia, violas, Nasturtiums, California/ Mexican Heathers, Datura, Alstroemeria (tri-colour), Ceanothus, Cala Lilies, ceolaria intergrifolia, Cana Lily, plum tree and Bougainvillea - along with a multitude of other plantings that provide year round blooms.
