LAGD’s theme:

The Oak and The Olive:

A Conversation Between California and

the Mediterranean on Sustainability

    Late Afternoon Garden Design presented the theme of a deeper understanding of the importance of historic Mediterranean sustainability in our California context.  Dry farming, repurposed materials and an appreciation for the native flora are illustrated in this display garden.

    California is represented by the Coast Live Oak, Quercus agrifolia, within a planting of natives, a woven willow screen and locally sourced stone.  

    The Mediterranean is represented by the Olive, Olea europea, in reclaimed “terracotta” tree boxes, and recycled wine making materials.  

    The terrace space, incorporating furnishings from both regions, is arranged to further this conversation and exchange of ideas.
