We designed and built this garden at the 2011 San Diego Flower and Garden Show. The exhibit showcased sustainable materials and water management techniques. We used 100% California Native Plants, cobble native to San Diego, mulch from recycled wood clippings, and raw steel to make gabion baskets. The exhibit received eight awards. If you are interested in this look, portions of the exhibit are for sale.

In an effort to use local materials, we took some native cobble from the Scripps Ranch area and built this wall in North Park.
