Woodland Cottage Garden

This garden creates the perfect place to enjoy the bounties of Paso‘s wine-growing region. Whether it is a pizza party with the wood fire pizza oven, an intimate gathering by the unique fireplace and pond, or a day of tending the garden and home vineyard, life is good here.
Somewhere between formal and natural, the garden flows seamlessly to provide entertainment options for day and night, with an emphasis on good food, good wine, and good friends.
This contemporary moon garden, designed to highlight nocturnal plants that can be appreciated with moonlight, integrates grand English architecture. The plant palette includes white roses, fuzzy yarrow, Agave (Agave ‘Blue Glow’), and an assortment of soft grasses. Warm granite boulders pop out of the landscape in various locations.
In the hills of Atascadero, this residence rests on a peak amid the shade of large, stately oak trees.
The landscape includes a redwood staircase with dg treads built into the hill, allowing full access to the best views on the property. The planting design plays off of the oaks, using a variety of textures and natives, while low-spreading plants provide erosion control and aesthetically pleasing views from below.
