The walls of the shower are granite tiles, individually hand-selected and placed to create the look of dark veins running through the stone. Although the bathroom is small, a double vanity was installed so both husband and wife could have their own space. Adding a glass panel to the top half of one of the shower walls brings light into the room and keeps it from feeling crowded.

Planted along the hillside pathway, Aeonium 'Zwartkop' is pared with a colorful array of companion plants that include Bulbine frutescens 'Hallmark' with its non-stop orange/yellow flowers, the dramatic chartreuse flowers of the Euphorbia characias, and the large cone-shaped purple/blue flowers of Echium - Pride of Madeira.

Alstroemeria 'Princess Sara' is a drarf Peruvian Lily, lower mounding growth with stunning flowers that combine the colors of peach/orange/pink with striped yellow throat. Great for cutting, blooms almost continuously in warm weather. Shown with an Agave Variegata offering a striking combination. One of the beautiful plant combinations in the personal garden of landscape designer Eileen Kelly in Marin County, CA.

This plant combination offers a wonderful variety of textures and form. Lomandra 'Breeze' is a tough grass-like plant that thrives in the toughest conditions in both sun and shade. The Dianella variegata 'Tasmanian Tiger' offers a lovely texture with its variegated foliage and brightens shady areas. The succulent Echeveria agavoides 'Lipstick' provides a nice edge to the concrete pavers. Elfin thyme is planted between adjacent pavers. All plants have low water needs.

Parrot's Beak (Lotus maculatus), cascading down the concrete wall. Pared with Euphorbia myrsinites and Blue Oat Grass. Lagoon-side property in the Bel Marin Keys, Novato, CA. Entertaining and enjoying the views were a primary design goal for this project. The project includes a large camaru deck with built-in seating. The concrete steps and pavers lead down to the water's edge. I included a sunken patio on one side and a beautiful Buddha statue on the other, surrounded by succulents and other low-water, contemporary plantings. I also used Dymondia ground cover to create a natural pathways within the garden. Photo: © Eileen Kelly, Dig Your Garden Landscape Design. Design Eileen Kelly
