A Gardener's Courtyard
The Garden Entrance is for People (and the Birds!): This view from the kitchen table makes the outside part of the inside experience. The sense of whimsy and fun continues past the arched entrance to the driveway, continuing the garden theme of orchids and found objects. A birdbath under the overarching oaks shelter ligustrum, firespike, and other cover plants that invite local birds to visit; a family of cardinals visit the parakeet almost every day; doves nest in the orchid pots each year; and hummingbirds are a common sight feeding on the firespike blossoms.
