The Young's and Boyer's Gardens in Huntington Beach, CA
Ready for a double-dose of Tropical Vibe extacy? The Boyer's and the Young's are next door neighbors with a common passion - rare palms and exotic plants. Both homes feature extensive hardscape and lush softscape that will make you feel as if you have been transported to a distant tropical resort. Years ago I conducted a tour of these gardens during a construction phase which really picked everyone's interest. this time around we had a chance to see the Boyer's new zen outdoor/study room with an interior waterfall. All of the stones used for their planters and walkways were brought in from local deserts - literally thousands of stones!! The Young's have added a long creek that runs the length of their large backyard and finally drops off into a pond. They also added several planters and increased the plant population in the yard. Both gardens have a unique feel and will inspire many new ideas for your garden.
