Lovely sunny slope in Southern California filled with Grevillea, Leucodendron and Leucospermum. All seem to be thriving well together and providing lots of nectar for the hummingbirds. plants African Plants tolerant gardens Diego Gardens

Love the soft color palette of blues, silvers and yellow with the dark Leucadendron ‘Ebony’ in the background.

Originally a white fly ridden boxed hedge wrapped around the entire front of the house. (Not sure why this was and still is a staple in so many front yards!!), Using bold foliage, texture and color we updated the space to give a fresh tropical feel.

Always learning, incorporating new materials and hopefully creating beautiful spaces that are as unique as the clients themselves!
