This garden implements the sounds, textures, sights and emotions of the california northern coast and transposes them into a small suburban backyard, serving to mask the urban noises and surrounding architecture. Along the water edges and lower tiers of the garden, meadow grasses and perennial flowers emerge, at the mid tiers of the garden riparian plantings emerge, and at the highest levels of the garden Oak trees emerge with soft grass understory plantings, defining the space and giving the garden its unique northern coast feeling. Smooth stucco walls contain the plantings and define the space.
