A small urban garden in the hills of Silver Lake was designed as a private place to enjoy the beauty of just being. The sound of water is relaxing and meditative. The birds and bees stop by for a sip of water and neighbors and friends drop by for a chat.

The planting includes a variety of succulents, poppies, bulbs, a peach tree and vines cascading over the basket-weave fence. Nasturtium tangle through a rose bush along with thyme and alyssum.

A casual and loose mix of plant material creates and comfortable setting for all to enjoy.
