Other Garden Attractions: The redwood understory has been planted with a variety of plants, including redwood sorrel, columbine, and a small meadow. Moving into the sunnier areas you will find ceanothus, coyote brush, pitcher sage, and Oregon grape. A dry creek planted with rushes meanders through. Near the front door and side fence line are alum root, monkeyflowers, Douglas iris, ninebark, and pink-flowering currant. A sunny corner at the back showcases California fuchsia, western redbud, and matilija poppy.
