Orange Eclectic Garden Inspiration

How inspiring can a private garden tour be? Step inside this stunning West Coast garden, that I've affectionately nicknamed "Orange Eclectic," and discover how bold, vibrant color can transform an ordinary sloped landscape into a breathtaking terraced outdoor retreat. From eye-catching plant combinations, and garden art on the ground and in the air, to creative design details, this garden showcases the power of color to bring energy, personality, and excitement to every corner of the landscape. See all of the Orange Eclectic Garden album on my Facebook page.

a. Rosemary – woody ornamental that you can harvest year round.

b. Parsley - Garden parsley is a bright green, biennial plant in temperate climates, or an annual herb in subtropical and tropical areas, but if harvested frequently, can be grown year round.

c. Lemongrass - Its fragrant leaves are traditionally used in cooking, particularly for lechon (a pork dish) and roasted chicken. The dried leaves can also be brewed into a tea, either alone or as a flavoring in other teas, imparting a flavor reminiscent of lemon juice but with a mild sweetness without significant sourness or tartness

d. .Oregano - Oregano is a woody perennial plant, in the mint family. It is sometimes called wild marjoram, while its close relative O. majorana is known as sweet marjoram. It has an earthy, warm, and slightly bitter taste, which can vary in intensity and is a staple of Mediterranean dishes.

e. Mint - Mints are aromatic, almost exclusively perennial herbs. Due to their tendency to spread unchecked, some mints are considered invasive, this has been proven in Lizzie’s yard. Different types of mint include spearmint, peppermint, apple and pineapple mint, orange mint, strawberry mint, and my favorite Chocolate mint. Girl Scout cookie.
