This charming unsophisticated garden is entered through an arbor of gnarled wisteria plants, one of which may have been planted when the California bungalow was new, circa 1918. Different elements were added by original owners with retaining walls of broken concrete, 99% of which came from a previous driveway and garage pad. Current owner Brydon Shirk says that the walls are “completely demountable on an energetic whim, and they have been.” The garden is peaceful with a chime tower and koi pond fed by a babbling stream. There are many places to sit, rest or entertain friends and family. On the horizon - a retirement project to build a labyrinth on the side bank.
