Garden of light and shadow, Santa Monica -- Crescent Drive, Beverly hills -- John Street, Los Angeles -- Alisal Lane, Pacific Palisades -- Hafley Garden, Long Beach -- La Jolla garden, La Jolla -- Pasadena pool garden, Pasadena -- Mid-Wilshire duplex, Los Angeles -- Ojai residence and orchard, Ojai Valley -- Pasadena house, Pasadena -- Ledge house, Bel Air -- Goodland Los Angeles -- Blue Sail, Pacific Palisades -- Private garden, La Jolla
What makes a garden regionally appropriate? Fifteen private gardens designed by leading landscape architects answer that question for arid Southern California by directly addressing the climate, landscape, and culture they inhabit. Whether small or large, urban or rural, luxurious or low budget, these resilient outdoor spaces are finely attuned to the Mediterranean climate and the indoor-outdoor lifestyle for which Southern California is known. They make use of local building materials and craftspeople and offer their owners a unique emotional connection to nature. Firmly planted in time and place, the projects, complete with plans, define not so much a style as an experience and thrive with little effort from their owners.--
