Brings the early California cabin vibes. Like you're weaving along a creek bed and stumble upon a beautiful grove. Agaves standing 10' tall. A leafy canopy dripping with fruit: figs, currants, wild grape and intensely spicy bay leaves. Yeah, you could make this your backyard.
A lusher ecology that occurs naturally in partly shaded canyons and riverbeds, this garden prefers seasonal drenchings with water.
