2019 Native Garden Tour | 9
-
- Delicate, green Clematis growing on an archway contrasts with the rugged river rock exterior of the home, while a rock water feature integrates the stone into the garden’s aesthetic.
-
- Cleveland Sage (Salvia clevelandii) is a favorite with butterflies, birds and humans.
-
- Foliage beds lining the front meadow are a riot of color, from the delicate blue of California Lilac to the bright, happy yellow of Indian Mallow.
-
- The high heat of Sun Valley challenges even California native grasses. To ensure this garden maintains its lush appearance year round, FormLA’s Cassy Aoyagi worked with the Theodore Payne Foundation Nursery to create a custom mix of grasses for this location.
-
- Indian Mallow in California Lilac
-
- A custom stone wall ties back to the remarkable architecture of the home.
-
- Outside the garden’s rock wall, a variety of California native wildflowers emerge from surprising spaces.
2019 Sunday in the Garden
These sunny yellow blooms are among the first sign that spring is springing in LA, and the owner calls this Flannel Bush (Fremontedendron) the Queen of the Garden. While evergreen and certainly beautiful, this queen is a bit prickly, making it a beautiful way to discourage traffic.

This bench has a view! The bird bath and California Lilac (Ceanothus) attract feathered friends.
