The Arboretum was home for the Green showcase gardens last weekend in Arcadia
Spectacular showcase gardens were featured in last weekend’s 2010 LA Garden Show at the Arboretum. From edible gardens, container gardens, pre-fab housing, California native gardens noted landscape designers and Arboretum garden experts demonstrated how to garden with edibles, how to select California native plants, what you can make with what you harvest from the garden, selecting plants that conserve water, how to kill your lawn, how to grow the perfect tomato and much more.
A Succulent Seascape was created by artist Jeff Moore that included incredible landscapes that made one feel like snorkeling, according to the press release. His award winning seascapes have been featured at the Philadelphia Flower Show and Sea World San Diego.
The New California Garden exhibit featured a house and patio with displays of vertical living walls, a green-roof doghouse, beds of beautiful California natives and drought tolerant plants and creative ways to incorporate edibles and herbs into your landscape. Laura Morton of the LA Chapter of the Association of Landscape Designers was also on hand for the show.
