The Garden of Contrasts

A collection of fleeting impressions makes every visit to this garden unique and personal. The garden's ground plane is a plant tapestry combining texture and form, color and scent. A canopy of olive trees adds a third dimension that changes in color and opacity as the seasons advance. Ephemeral natural patterns of sunlight and plant texture reinforce the garden's dynamic qualities. Seasonal change is marked as plants emerge in spring, blossom in summer, change color in autumn, and fade into bouquets of dry foliage in winter. The natural weathering of the garden's hardscape further enhances the garden’s sense of timelessness.
