Weaving along a creek bed trail deep in Orange County's Saddleback Mountains you stumble upon a beautiful grove. You draw near it passing agaves that stand 10' tall like sentinels. You look up and see a 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 drenching with water.
