Object Details
- General
- "The homes in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California are typically cottage type dwellings on small lots. The pretty board/batten house and guest cottage, the interesting plant material and pleasing artifacts make for a garden of character and charm. The property is composed of brick patios and native stone paths surrounding the house and guest cottage."
- "There are patios and sitting areas on the west and south side of the house and guest cottage. These patios, partly shaded by a giant old Pittosporum tree and a large pine, are planted with English Ivy, ferns, azaleas, fuchsias, begonias, and camellias mainly in shades of green and white. There are topiaries and many container plants."
- "The sunny patio on the north side of the house has a sitting area, potted plants and a Koi pond bordered by flower beds. On the north wall Gordon Apple trees are espalied, blossoming in late February, followed by red apples in September. Unusual plants are a Hinoki cypress which as been in the garden many years and a small Gowen Cypress. This plant, which is indigenous to the Pebble Beach area, became very scarce, and seedlings were distributed to a few for propogation."
