Rustic Forested Garden, Granada Hills

Native Plant Garden Tour Favorite Designed for Grandkids

This rustic natural open space entices people to wander the full landscape. A flowing decomposed granite trail passes under a forrest of mature frees, through an IdealMow meadow, and past dry river and native plant beds. There is also ample room for rest and entertainment in the BBQ Bar and Outdoor Lounge. The garden has been a semi-perennial favorite on LA’s iconic Native Plant Garden Tour.

The tree covered trail wraps the full property, offering a cool reprieve on sunny days.

The garden’s back trail is a favorite of Houzz editors and those gathering ideas for their own landscape renovations.

Reading or napping in your hammock won’t be nearly as appealing if it’s baking in full sun.

Pay attention to your yard throughout
the day to find a spot that gets ample shade. Beneath a tree, near a fence, at the side
of the house or on a porch all offer
some relief from the heat and UV rays.
