The Yellow Garden — Bel Air, CA

This Bel Air garden strikes a satisfying blend of understated grace and sophistication, united through a sunny palette of gold, amber, and lemon.

An enchanting space graced by 85 diverse, tonally harmonious California-friendly plants, intertwined with thoughtfully designed pathways, meanders across the gently sloping terrain. Awash in the golden hues of blossoms, foliage, and fruit, this garden is meticulously crafted to immerse visitors in the breathtaking ambiance of a dramatic sunset. As the sun dips below the horizon, the landscape bathes the hillside beneath the residence in a radiant warmth, casting an invigorating and soothing glow.

Yellow Garden was published (featured and cover) in the book Regional Landscape Architecture: Southern California : Mediterranean Modern, by Jeffrey Head.
