santa barbara garden

they say that the month of march comes in like a lion and out like a lamb. well after a LION of a weekend i need that lamb, pronto. fortunately the landscape design and build firm, grace design associates, of santa barbara always creates lamb-like settings. principal, margaret grace, and her team of talented designers recently revitalized a local backyard that had been nicknamed ‘the crematorium’. rebuilt with plantings in containers and architectural elements, the garden is low maintenance and intimate. grace also created a healthy division between the property’s main living quarters and rental cottage, allowing intimacy for all tenants. go lamb!

i would especially like to thank ms. karen strickholm at the strickholm company for submitting this gorgeous grace design associates garden. the after photos were shot by the talented dawn close photography.
