Kathy’s Calabasas Garden

Remembering a beloved garden

Today we ’re off to California to visit with Kathy Sandel .

I am a landscape designer , now retired , and I want to show you pics of my garden in Calabasas , California . This is a property I lived at for more than 20 class while I was doing other people ’s garden . I strike from there about three years ago to be nearer my girl . However , I love my garden so much I often look at pics of it .

I live in a small house overlook a man - made lake in Calabasas . A terrace hung out over a hill of about 12 to 15 feet in height . The slope beneath was set and frame a walkway around the entire lake . The garden adjacent to the terrace all around the business firm were paved with Saltillo tiles , and I build a serial of plantation owner the good to see my planting from inside the house . It was an idealistic surroundings and something I never thought I would go away . But life is full of changes .
