13.    San Francisco Hillside Garden - Autumn 2010

Began this garden by replacing the street side chain link fence with a beautiful redwood fence of horizontal design.

Black Bamboo runs along the southern  border and Coral Passion Flower to the north. A Medley of Fruit trees including

Pomegranate, Fig, Meyer's and Eureka Lemon, Lime, Olive, Pineapple Guava and a Bartlett Pear were chosen to provide

fresh fruits as well as beauty. Stacked Stone tree wells  allow standing areas for harvest and are connected by a lodge pole stairway

to make the  hillside navigable. Raised planter beds for growing vegetables and greens sit just above the retainer planted with a continuous row of trailing rosemary. A lower level pathway of D G has Blue Festuca and Gazania planted along it's sides.

Creeping Fig planted along the concrete base of the deck will fill in soon. Random splashes of Yucca Bright Edge and Dietes Vegeta

brighten the palate and a Ground Cover of Silver Veined Yellow Archangel is planted throughout. Automatic irrigation and low voltage garden lighting complete this edible landscape.
