Breakwater terrace near Santa Barbara
A sandy path was the inspiration behind the terrace garden pictured at right. "The path was here when we bought the place, and I loved it," says Susan Sullivan, who owns the property in Carpenteria, California, with her husband, Connell Cowan. "To me it's the beckoning road to unknown possibilities. I insisted we keep it."
Sullivan and Cowan, unlike the Mannings, wanted a simple garden that would work well with the architecture of their home and that would not require much maintenance. They also wanted landscaping that would complement their surroundings. "We wanted our garden to relate to the marsh and wetlands sanctuary near us," says Sullivan. Along the path, landscape architect Susan Van Atta created a garden that has the feeling of a dune grass wilderness. The simple plant palette includes beach strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis), common thrift (Armeria maritima), and native grass Leymus condensatus 'Canyon Prince'. The grass is especially appropriate, because this particular cultivar was discovered on Price Island, an islet located off San Miguel Island, which Sullivan and Cowan can see from their property.
At the end of the path, a simple concrete terrace is snuggled up against the breakwater. Unlike the larger terrace next to the home, this one is intimate, just right for a tete-a-tete against the backdrop of gently rolling surf. At night the scent of wood smoke and the flicker of flames in a firepit make conversation easy and long. The warmth feels good, too, as temperatures drop.
