Canyon Retreat

This garden in Laurel Canyon has a stunning natural backdrop and views of the San Fernando Valley.
Country: United States
Shining like a sparkly gem in the midst of the chaparral, is the aqua pool. A circular cutout in the paving offers a little plant oasis within the expansive deck. Sitting poolside it's hard to decide which gorgeous vista to focus on.

With stunning views of the canyon and city, this backyard is a gorgeous retreat. Early in the morning deer can be seen cavorting through the garden.
Canyon Retreat
The spiky leaves of Maori Queen New Zealand Flax and Agave attenuata rise among Rockrose whose delicate flowers belie its ruggedness. All the plants needed to be hardy in this canyon garden as deer are regular visitors.

The gnarled trunk of an olive tree is the majestic centerpiece of the front garden. It had nearly died from neglect but a new watering regimen brought it back to life. A line of Purple Hopseed Bush (Dodonaea viscosa) adds a layer of privacy from the neighbors.
Canyon Retreat
Small boulders were chosen for their color and texture as was the Arizona Pebble gravel. A hardy mixture of plants include purple Lantana, Yucca whipplei, and Phormium Tenax atropurpureum.
Canyon Retreat
Deeply colored rosettes of Aeonium arboretum 'Zwartkop' contrast sharply with the chartreuse flowers of Euphorbia characias and spiky blue leaves of the Senecio mandraliscae. With foliage like this, who needs flowers?
Canyon Retreat
Agave attenuata peeks out from a bed of Senecio mandraliscae like a green starfish. In this garden, the foliage is as beautiful as the flowers?
