Plantings: The southern entry area, which extends from the south gate up past the new residence features some beautiful trees; Chitalpa tree “Pink Dawn”, Coast Live Oak, Weeping Acacia, Western Redbud, and Silk Tassel Trees. The south entry garden plantings include many varieties of agaves, manzanita, buckwheat, flowering oregano and sagebrush. Featured in this area are low-growing ground covering shrubs, perennial grasses, succulents, and flowering perennials, which create a mosaic of colors and textures providing an open view to the Lemon Grove (to the East) and the Orchard Garden (to the West). Large specimen Oaks and an English Walnut tree were part of the original grove on this property. Under the Oak at the entry is Evergreen Current, a good example of plants that can be grown under oak trees because they do not need water in the summer while the oaks are dormant.
