cocktail garden

A lawn? How about a drip-irrigated, native bentgrass lawn! That's right. In a mild site like this, native bentgrass can thrive and thatch your lushest dreams with subsurface watering, still using a fraction of the water of a traditional sprinkler system.

​

Alongside the accompanying gutter-fed rain basin, wildflower meadow, oystershell paths, and mixed edible garden (blueberries in the sage), this dreamy backyard strikes that rare balance of being cozy and grand.
