Bright orange pots create a focal point, establish a low "wall," and add a splash of color to the neutral tones of the natural materials used in this patio area. This look was achieved by placing slats of wood decking on a base of smooth pea gravel. A bench serves as an anchor or destination, and pots of taller plants create living privacy walls and provide shade.
This garden was one of the design landscapes on view at the 2010 L.A. Garden Show at the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia, California.
