The naturalist garden displays California natives, over 20 ornamental grasses ranging from six inches to eight feet, and a koi pond with stream. The front yard is edged by the original jacaranda tree and bird of paradise. Five years ago everything else was replaced with low maintenance, drought tolerant natives and Mediterranean plants. The side garden introduces the visitor to tuldoides and Alphonse Karr bamboo, ornamental grasses, and self-seeding annuals. The patio garden features ferns and begonias against a jacaranda blue wall. Step to the pond and look for koi and fancy goldfish, stroll around the grassy path through the meadow to examine the various ornamental grasses up close, sit and listen to the birds. The meadow is in its infancy – yet you will see approximately 20 types of grasses sprinkled with wildflowers and perennials.
