This enviable property sits perched on the bluff directly across from the ocean in the La Selva Beach neighborhood of Aptos. Project goals included overall beautification via plants with year-round color and showy blooms, more privacy on the patio and deck, and a way to deter frequent dog-walkers from cutting through the garden. We accomplished this last goal by building up soil mounds behind retaining walls and using taller plants at the apex. Privacy for the deck was achieved by the addition of sleek stucco walls. Project features a large swath of a walkable, drought-tolerant grass alternative. Special care was devoted to selecting plants that can withstand the wind, fog and salt-spray that occur near the ocean. South African and Australian plants figure prominently into the plant palette and create a vibrant complimentary color scheme against the ocean backdrop. Who wouldn't want to spend time in this ocean-view garden?

Karen's passion for the venerable horseshoe crab has existed since childhood. Having rescued many by putting them gently back into the surf, the ones that have been lunch for the gulls, find their way to the wall by her studio entrance. Note the latest, the largest she has ever found, lower center, just the other day. Must be over 40 years old, and look at the barnacles! The collection isn't all out here, the more delicate molts some as small as a baby's hand, are kept safely in boxes for drawing and nature studies. So happy that in so many states, this incredible creature that remains unchanged since many years prior to when dinosaurs roamed the earth, are now protected. Many drug companies are formulating the blood in the lab now or at least taking it without harming the crabs. I just love these creatures. Karen La Du for Decorative Philosophy
