Jennifer Charnofsky's front garden in West Adams, L.A.
Jennifer Charnofsky, West Adams, L.A.:The front garden is a drought tolerant version of a cottage garden. Almost all the plants are California natives or Mediterraneans. There is no grass. The predominant color scheme matches our 1910 Craftsman house: shades of purple. There is a now mature pineapple guava as the focal point.
There are now several gardeners who don't have front lawns, but flower gardens instead. When people start maintaining even traditional gardens, it contributes to the improvement of the neighborhood.
The back garden is where the vegetables and other fruit trees grow, mixed with flowers. I use the French bio-intensive method, so there are raised beds. Wisteria drapes on an arbor over a brick patio. Everything is organic only.
