Residential Project 6
Mission Hills Residence
This garden was featured in San Diego Home/Garden Lifestyles magazine. Titled "Europe in Mission Hills," the garden is designed around a Tudor-styled home the owners remodeled. They wanted a European-style garden full of seasonal color. The garden re-design consists of eight rectangular planting beds bisected by walks and paths, with a three-tiered fountain as a central focal point in the heart of the garden layout. The walks and paths are surfaced with decomposed granite rather than concrete, for a softer, more European look. This garden was also featured in a cover shot and article in Better Homes & Gardens.

The owners get heavily involved in their garden; it is a work in progress, as they experiment with new flowering plants. In addition to beds of color, the garden also features climbing Roses, a row of Citrus trees, a brick patio, teak benches, and an antique urn filled with herbs. The garden is enclosed by a wood fence based on one that the owners saw on a trip to England. Climbing Iceberg Roses and Star Jasmine are trained on the fence.
