Plantings are inviting and an inspiration to other neighbors. Home built in 1897 and the owners use vintage items in the yard to compliment the home such as old chairs, benches, wood and tin from a barn that has been turned into a potting shed. As a bonus, the yard received a Backyard Habitat award from the National Wildlife Federation.

St.
Paul’s Lutheran Church
An area on the east side of the church is designed to give parishioners a sense of community and a place to talk before and after services and also serves as a backdrop for wedding photos. The plantings areas include hyssop which was used for its medical qualities and is mentioned frequently in the Bible.

209 N. Powell Street The front yard has a large arbor and a beautiful flower bed making a striking statement in the midst of an impeccable sloping lawn. When I spoke to the owners, I discovered that they had done all the work on the yard themselves for twenty years and discovered impressive evidence of their labors in the back yard. They have constructed a stone patio next to which is a pool and beyond that vegetable and herb gardens. Everything is fastidiously maintained and a real pleasure to visit. |

Bay
Area Women’s Center The Center has extensive property around its building, much of which has been formed into a series of small hillsides that provide vistas and resting places for those who would like to take a stroll outside. A variety of trees over the hillsides provide both shade and interest while arbors and plantings near the house give a sense of spacious tranquility. Volunteer labor provides most of the care of these plantings, and it is wonderful to see how well the plants are flourishing under that care.

Buoy 18 This miniature golf course could have been designed around children’s playthings, but instead the owner chose to have it professionally landscaped, with wonderful results. Grasses and perennials provide color and foliage interest along the curving slopes of the course. In addition, a large waterfall tumbles from the top of the course down to street level where it provides enjoyment for those passing by. This property provides an example of ways in which commercial locations can set aside space for plants. |
