Century City Hillside Garden 1
(cont.)
Incorporated in the topmost terrace is a pad for a future cottage to overlook the garden. Currently, it’s being used as the kids’ campsite, complete with an adjacent fire pit for roasting marshmallows. There’s even a pen for the family pet – a Sulcata tortoise, one of the largest tortoise species in the world.
At the front of the house, Forest Pansy redbud trees provide year-round color and a succulent garden spotlights tilt-head aloes. Nearby, rain gardens were established in the parkway. In the side yard, cisterns provide the means of harvesting 2,100 gallons of stormwater.
