Early learning is brought to life in this version of an outdoor classroom. Children are invited to explore water, plants and annuals in the rear garden and are later called back to the courtyard for reflection in the council ring. Beyond the wall, the rear garden provides areas for water exploration, thematic garden beds, and a nature pond. Within the courtyard, the council ring provides a peaceful setting to which children return and reflect upon their learning experiences. Sculpture is located throughout to inspire creative thought. Weaving together the various elements of the garden are tiles created by children. Come experience learning through a child's eyes!

Our installation registers movement in seemingly static objects. Landscape implies something beyond itself...beyond a given frame of reference. It is living poetry that challenges our limited perceptions.

A peek through the tulip gate reveals a simple path, nearly hidden by foliage, winding past an abandoned pick-up that sits at the edge of the garden. Here order gives way to nature’s design. The truck, long ago retired, has been accessorized by nature with grasses, perennials and bulbs. Loads previously hauled are now merely memories. The vernacular gardener had little time for fussiness, and the gardens form a testament to utility, and to a creativity born of necessity.

Sustainable delights abound in the sloping San Francisco artist’s garden. Clay soil natives, potted edibles, and aromatics mingle with the found-material sculptural elements along meandering paths of permeable concrete stepping-stones. Storm water flows down the hillside's stream-bed swale into a cistern, diminishing runoff, and storing water for thirsty plants in the dry season. Whether for sculpting or potting, the studio/shed, built from recycled materials, has a green-roof that captures runoff while adding biodiversity, natural insulation, and beauty.

Our garden is designed in a general mediterranean style and highlights the use of antique materials in garden design. In addition, our use of plant materials and overall design creates the feeling of a garden that has existed for many years. The use of an old building facade as a backdrop creates a perfect foil for this style of garden. Water creates a soothing sound and cooling effect below the tall sheltering palm trees. This garden was designed for outdoor relaxation and entertainment. The semi-enclosed space creates a nicely scaled space for the user.
