Tucked in a quiet cul-de-sac, this gem of a garden was designed in 2000 by Rosalind Creasy. Ms. Creasy is an award-winning garden and food writer who has made edible landscaping a part of the horticultural vernacular. This garden plays a central role in this family’s everyday life. It exemplifies a successful blending of the public and
private, of form and function, of order and controlled chaos. Plant list
This inviting Cape Cod home and garden was renovated inside and out in 2008. The new owners came from living on the grounds of the Presidio with their two
young children and cherished their time spent outdoors
with greenery everywhere. Betty Lee, Topiary Design,
was called in to renovate the garden. Now there is always
something blooming as well as an edible garden. Plant list
Just around the corner from the garage that “started it all
in Silicon Valley”, is a smashing contemporary craftsman
home and garden. The garden design, by Arterra

Architects, keeps
the home as
close to the earth
and open to
outdoor living
as possible with
the garden an
extension of the
home providing
year around visual interest and seasonal nutrition. The
garden offers numerous surprise elements. Plant list
This inviting neighborhood farm around the corner
from Gamble Garden was designed by Katsy Swan.
This urban garden produces such an abundance of fruits
and vegetables that the homeowners leave basketfuls
for passers-by to collect each season. The family enjoys
the spacious grounds with areas for swimming, dining,
meditating, reading, and outdoor entertaining. Plant list
This Mission-style home and garden is the wonderful
union of two single-parent families and two adjoining
properties. For their new garden, beauty, fragrance, and
water conservation were high priorities. With landscape
designer, Paula Blanchard, the homeowners strove for
a lush and inviting entrance to their new home. They
caught the edible landscaping bug, gave up the back lawn,
and reimagined the backyard to better complement their
lifestyle. Plant lis7
