32nd Street — West Oakland

One of my rare succulent-centered designs.

32nd Street garden

The 32nd Street installation is one of my rare succulent-centered designs, tending more toward Australian and South African plants than California natives. The garden design emphasizes colorful foliage—yellows from Grevillea 'Moonlight' and Salvia greggii 'Lemon Light'; purples from Echeveria 'Afterglow' and purple fountain grass; and blue from blue chalksticks—as well as varying textures.

For this project, the client contracted out the hardscape work, and then I came in with the planting design, mulching, and irrigation.
