These days I’m finding myself being drawn more to the native California landscape. Since I’m from the east coast where gardens are much different, and because I also love the look of the English style cottage garden, I was constantly trying to replicate some smaller version of that at home. But but this year I switched gears. I started to incorporate native plants, spend more time learning about them and introduce them into my garden. The Oak Woodland and California Native Garden at Descanso have a completely different kind of beauty and I am seeing it through different eyes. I recommend taking a walk through them and I guarantee you will fall in love with our California landscape.
