Three Steps to the Perfect Garden |
All good landscapes have three important considerations: Design
Pass through this entryway from beginning to end and into your ideal landscape, knowing you’ve done everything right. |
Display Gardens |
|
|
|
Contributors: Tropical garden plants create a lush backdrop for this water-themed landscape. You’ll find a resting place to muse or play, between the falls. |
California Dreaming |
Contributors: Installation: California is the land of opportunity and diversity, a melting pot of people and horticulture. This beautiful landscape incorporates tropical looks with Mediterranean influences, melding in natives, xeriscape, water, fire and fragrance. The outdoor living area is perfect for family, guests, entertaining, relaxing, meditating or dreaming. |
Here to There |
Contributors: This garden bridges the wonderful opulence of a running stream with a tranquil space to rest and relax amid a landscape with minimal water requirements. Focus on the beauty and sound and let your tension drain away. |
Come On In |
Contributors: It’s all about relaxing in cozy, comfortable space all your own. A warm fireplace invites you in and the garden surrounds you with a warm, lush feeling of respite from the busy world outside. |
Neptune’s Garden
|
Contributors: An undersea aquascape comprised entirely of succulents and drought tolerant plants. Swim by and take a look at the unusual use of these highly decorative plants. |
Backyard Tropics |
Contributors: There is a lushness in the large dark green leathery leaves of tropical plants and a joy in the brilliant color of their flowers like no others. Throw in a dash of bamboo, a pinch of soothing moving water, a Tiki or two and you can begin to leave it all behind in the confines of your very own backyard. |
Back to Nature |
Contributors: Native plants harbor, host and nurture an abundant ecosystem full of life, including numerous endangered species. Removing the alien plant invaders brought from round the world, this garden restores the delicate, marvelous, climate-adapted nativescape of Southern California giving endangered creatures the means to find shelter, food and reproduce. |
Beyond the Ordinary! |
Contributors: Simple and serene. This creative landscape uses drought tolerant plants and art to create an inviting, low maintenance garden conducive to the Southern California climate. |
Stone and Steel |
Contributors: Courtyard gardens become an extended living space in Southern California. Having the whole garden in containers allows the homeowner to enjoy a variety of plant material with different characteristics and to “move the furniture” any time. |
Modern Mastery Best of Show:
|
Contributors: The mid-twentieth century brought us clean, sleek lines in both architecture and landscape design. This crisp garden pays homage to the modern movement with special emphasis on defined line and drought tolerant landscaping. |
La Tequilera Antigua – The Tequila Highlands |
What complements fine tequila? A walk through a beautifully designed, distillery garden of historic tradition. Aristocratic landowners of Jalisco took great pride in their hacienda/distillery gardens, planting many of them with traditional medicinal and herbal plants. This garden is designed not only to be seen, but also to be pinched, plucked, and pruned for necessity, care and love. |
Bolder and Boulder |
Contributors: Gardens are more than just plants, they also have bones. The boulders in this landscape provide the basic form and structure for the garden while the plants provide their living energy, color and green appeal. |
Spring Thaw |
The earth comes alive with the sounds and scents of spring. The playful movement of water and the emerging colors of flowers celebrate new life! |
Creative Places |
Contributors: This California-Southwestern garden takes the challenge of waterwise gardening and sustainable “green” living into a beautiful turf-less landscape full of design, color and interest. Native plants, cacti and succulents soften the hardscape and container plantings enable the creation of new “looks” at any time without being a slave to excessive watering. |
The Forgotten Garden |
Contributors: This is the place that man once took. Only to be reclaimed by nature. |
A Quiet Space |
Contributors: Fresh, refreshing, out of doors, in the cool—that’s alfresco. This formal garden has echoes of an old world villa with a Mediterranean feel and formal details. It’s about sustainable drought tolerant landscaping and reusing elements in new and creative ways. This water conscious Mediterranean garden offers a quiet retreat to relax from the bustle of our busy lives. The scent of plants, the melody of running water, and the rich travertine rest area calm and soothe. |
Shabby Chic Goes Green |
Contributors: This is an earth-friendly landscape in the full sense of the word. The hardscape elements are environmentally friendly, recycled and/or recyclable. The plants are carefully selected not only for their beauty, but also for their value as edibles, minimal water requirements, and attraction to wildlife. The landscape is “Good for You and Good for Our Planet.” |
Living Lush in a Thirsty Land |
Contributors: Designed II... has accepted the challenge of facing severe water restrictions by creating a garden lush with greenery, and dripping with juicy wetness. The design quenches our visual thirst, by richly incorporating an exciting and dynamic plant palette, largely of succulents and carefully selected other plants, that love the water when it comes, but can endure months without. Even the water feature loses less water for its area than transpiration by the average lawn. |
Tropical Oasis for Desert Southwest |
In this deceptive waterwise garden you will look and feel like the tropics but save water as though you are in the desert. So enjoy the lush and beautiful foliage with confidence and ease of mind. |
