“Gardening requires lots of water - most of it in the form of perspiration.” Three years of hard work have resulted in lovely garden vignettes in this large yard offset by a beautiful mountain vista. You will be greeted by a stream and pond enveloped in abundant plantings and garden ornamentation. Garden settings determined by sun or shade flow through the property. |

Taking gardening to a new level! Backyard devoted to food crops planted at waist height, surrounded by fruit trees hung with seahorses and a wildlife tree covered in bird houses. Designed for privacy on a corner lot with a stream bisecting the “every square inch utilized” backyard. Ever tried growing sweet potatoes?

Curbside appeal. A streetside garden thoughtfully designed to provide height and privacy for the owners as well as viewing pleasure for passersby. Garden elegance , and an eye for detail, combined with garden ease flows into their private back yard as well. |

“Just Mother Nature” Yes, if Mother Nature loved hanging baskets and container gardening! The main entrance takes you over a creek edged with native plants, overhung with mature rhodos and trees. The courtyard is enveloped with wisteria and container plants and if you can tear your eyes off the ocean view you will be rewarded with numerous hanging baskets and flourishing container plantings... |

Marilyn |

“Adversity precedes growth” You might remember this beautiful English garden from our first tour. Unfortunately, a good portion of Marilyn’s backyard slid into the ocean in the December storms of 1996. Marilyn has managed to rebuild and her oasis is even more amazing – overflowing with beautiful garden beds and garden ornamentation. |

Barb & Bob | & |
“Gardens are a form of autobiography.” And what a self-portrait! Extensive planting designs offset the hardscaping of cedar pergolas, drystack stone walls, rock gardens and the largest compost bin I have ever seen! Barb is at the point where she is now “finessing” her abundant garden beds. See if you can locate the angel in pathway.

Vicky & Keith |
Raymond Knight |
Under construction! A garden with everything – and everything in its place. Vicky’s passion is vegetables, or things that feed her. Still she has had time to design a woodland garden and completely redo their front and side yards in perennial plantings. Make sure to note her grape kiwi arbour in the backyard and her Arbutus grown from seed.

Mark |
Dave Davies |
“Half the interest of a garden is the constant exercise of the imagination.” A plant collector’s vision. Mark is now in year 5 of his 7 year garden plan. Not a blade of grass in his extensive garden collection of Asian and South African plants. 30 different Japanese Maples. A rare “Joseph Rock” tree peony and a large variety of unusual trees, shrubs and perennials make for an overwhelming garden experience.

Jane & Dennis |
& Terri Bowen |
Only 3 years in the making! A rocky slope has been transformed into a series of garden rooms and terraces. Follow the meandering stream from pond to pond while viewing the rose and Japanese Garden. All enclosed by a Japanese fence design, which has managed to successfully keep deer at bay. One of Jane and Dennis’ goals is to make their garden fully sustainable with food crops, fruit and nut trees. Have you ever tasted a Jostaberry? |
