the public for self-guided tours to benefit the Garden Conservancy. No

designed with help from landscape architect Fletcher Steele with fourteen ram's
head fountains, tufa walls, and a Hinoki cypress more than 100 years old; and a
hilltop location with multiple water features, container plantings, a bridge
over a dry stream bed, a Zen garden, organic vegetable garden, and fragrant
plant choices.
