Flower Garden - WisteriaI made the painting of a well known garden in Palo Alto, California. This was at a time when they planted numerous flowers, including tulips in the back yard of the house. Now they don't plant much on the ground and the wisteria has been severly cut back; (it might have been removed by now). I guess people didn't like the bugs. Besides, drought-tolerant plants are more "ecological" . The fountain actually worked back then, but probably doesn't now. They had a gardener, but he quit. Another person volunteered and made some interesting plantings, but he might be gone by now. Things changed after they found a dead body in the garden one morning. Now the locals don't seem to have much use for a community garden, except to walk their dogs in it . All this for a dog run! They hold weddings and other receptions for the them in the summer.
