Phyllis Hilton
Wildlife-Friendly Woodland
The garden path invites you to wander through oaks, pines, rhododendrons and azaleas, and leads to the grassy area in the back. Phyllis has created a deer friendly environment that welcomes birds and other wildlife. Stunning varieties of succulents and other xeriscape elements suggest ways to garden with little water. Look for whimsical garden accents in the creative garden decorations.

Maryanne McCormick
Blending the Old and the New
This established landscape has seen many changes since the McCormick's moved in two years ago. Enjoy strolling from the front entrance through a recently created side patio area, continue to the back patio, and see the newly established raised herb garden. Finish by walking through the vegetable garden, rich with flowers, some in raised beds, some directly in the ground.

	Stuart Walzer A Collector's Delights Revealed In a word, Stu's garden reflects his eclectic taste in plants, but with some pronounced specialties and favorites. With roses, for example, you will find some 50 to admire. Another collection reflects Australian and New Zealand tastes - proteas, grevilleas, banksias, and more. Here and there find 20 Japanese maple trees, three magnolia trees, and many salvias, grasses, knifophias, and clematis. Enjoy the beautiful collage, the blending of colors, textures and fragrances, and then look again. PHOTOS

	Robin Hazard Rooms with a View Beginning with the charming entrance, continue to explore each delightful garden room. Discover unique windows incorporated into the fence, drawing your eye to the view of the Bay. In back, several sitting areas tempt you to slow down and relish the rich diversity of plants. Enjoy abundant specimens of geraniums, roses, wild sweet peas, herbs, buddleia, arbor climbers, and much more. While walking through the garden take note of the Feng Shui descriptions for each area and what they relate to. PHOTOS

	Betsy Shea Sheltered and Spreading - Distinctly Inviting Areas This is definitely a gardener's garden. Each area reflects an interest in plant groupings. There are specimen plants juxtaposed with masses of familiar varieties. Areas to sit and relax are incorporated in the landscaping. There is a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere throughout. You'll enjoy the magnificent old oaks; the vast collection of Australian and South African plants mixed in with grasses; a perennial flower garden; and a collection of David Austin roses. PHOTOS
