Curving.. Flowing.. Sinuous Design - Wave Garden Part II



Another look at the Wave Garden: Hardscape, artwork and plantings. Kellee Adams, the plant-scape designer selected species from the 5 Mediterranean regions of the world to enliven a drought-tolerant landscape.

The rosettes of Aeonium 'Sunburst' effectively repeat the harmonious lines appearing throughout the garden, where Victor Amador, the garden's third-generation concrete contractor/designer worked intuitively, applying an organic approach to the creation of walls, stairs, walkways, and special focal points.



The curving planes of a wall embrace a bevy of drought tolerant plants.


The alluring, sinuous lines of hand-crafted iron work are outstanding.

  2. Lakeviewer,
    Glad you like what you see!

    Andrea,
    They do like heat but they grow in the cool, rainy season. They are from North Africa and the Canary Islands. Would your climate be similar?
