Operation California

This is the garden that inspired me to use rocks on our hill for our cactus garden. It's in the old South West Museum in Mount Washington in LA. I happened to be looking at it when the volunteer who made the garden was there, and he told me it took 12 years for it to grow to look like this! He also made Pieter and I decide to use as much materials from our land for our home as (i think his name is Arthur) was saying that he didn't want to import different materials into the landscape.

There are other cactus gardens in Los Angeles area that I still need to visit, as well as things like the Joshua Tree National Park. I have always loved cactus, and being here makes them so much more "real" than in the tiny pots I had seen them previously.
