Description

Local native garden designer, Lisa Burton, created this public garden that sits on a main street in Ventura, CA. giving us an aesthetically beautiful and functional garden. There are no gutters or downspouts leading into the garden, so the rainwater sheets off of the roof into swales that Lisa incorporated into the design.
