We participated in the 2009 Spring Home and Garden Show in San Diego. Our Display, entitled “Coastal Retreat” was a huge hit! Along with our contributors, Modern Cabana and Terra Sculpture we designed a garden to take advantage of our wonderful Southern California lifestyle! The garden received Judge’s Choice, and Best Hardscape Feature, along with 3rd Best of Show.

The feature that got the most attention was our curved wall made to look like poured in place concrete. The wall was constructed out of wood in three pieces. It was stuccoed in place and became an integral feature in our display. Visitors enjoyed margaritas next to the “fire” and dug their toes into the sand. The display was intended to encourage people to “experience” the garden instead of just view it from afar.
