This garden demonstrates how the beauty, variety, and versatility of California native plants can work in a small location. Meander along a redwood path beside the curving stone walls to a seating area around a glowing gabion table made of stainless steel, welded wire mesh and recycled glass. This is a special place where people can come together and feel that they are meeting in a forest glen. It is a contemporary rendition of a woodland garden, depicting natural elements unlike that in nature. The plants and materials are easily changed to suit local conditions while still creating a tranquil ambiance and a connection to the natural world outside.
