| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses a Marin County, California, garden designed by Dr. and Mrs. Roger Greenberg that meets the "challenge of gardening in a naturalistic style" by "juxtaposing an exotic, secluded, inner garden with the surrounding native grass landscape." Explains that the property on which the garden is situated abuts the Ring Mountain Open Space Preserve, "a distinct habitat of native bunchgrasses" that needed to be "tied to the hillside both physically and aesthetically." Describes plants used in the creation of the garden, which succeed at "borrowing the aesthetic [of the region] without borrowing the actual plants." States that "this garden makes no attempt to be a native landscape, but that was never the point. The point was to pay homage to California's golden hills, while at the same time making sure that the plants in the garden would not escape to wreak further havoc. In this it has succeeded." |
