Potrero Hill Garden

This garden on the northern slope of Potrero Hill is dominated by a neighbor's large green japanese maple and an avocado tree. This is mostly a shade garden with a few patch of full sun.

Garden Structures - Gates

Next up is garden gates, those structures that limit access and make areas more enticing. The solid oak gate is traditional in England. Old oak weathers well.
