Eye of the Day provided the pottery for a garden makeover in Los Olivos, California. Design by Lisa Cox of Lisa Cox Landscape Design

Per Lisa, the client wanted to completely rework the front garden to create a more traditional plant palette of roses and boxwood in tandem with drought tolerant plants that do well in the Santa Ynez Valley such as rosemary, lavender and olive trees.
After removing most of the original planters, we created areas of interest such as a rose garden, shade garden, and sun drenched beauty garden. The biggest challenge was correctly reworking the existing irrigation system for the newly planted areas, and using good sized plants to create an “Instant yard.”

The design phase was easy since the homeowner is a very gifted interior designer with a good eye.
The vintage Greek oil jar was a perfect fit to blend both a traditional and Mediterranean look with a touch of rustic created by the aging finishes Eye of the Day offers.
