ron saltmarsh garden design

The garden at 2812 Morgan Avenue: How do you tame an

overgrown  jungle of a garden and make it shine? Use a machete. When this client asked me to help reclaim her new Oakland bungalow’s outdoor space, there were so many different plants on top of each other, it was almost

impossible to even see what was there. But with a few days of careful hacking it started to resemble a lovely garden again. We then added native plants

to bring the design together and created an easy, low-maintenance backdrop

for the owner to entertain, relax with her dog and commune

with a friendly band of chipmunks.
