This 4,000 sq. ft. landscape, planted in 2012, combines features of a traditional California mission-style garden with modern elements to complement a 1925 Spanish Revival-style house. A palette of predominately native plants, many endemic to the Channel Islands, provides year-round interest and wildlife habitat. A permeable driveway and walkway, as well as underground infiltration pits, all capture rainwater onsite. Concrete repurposed from the former driveway provides ample garden seating and low walls for a productive kitchen garden. Design: Oakley Gardens Photos: Philip Otto Photography
