Palm Beach Residence
date/time: Saturday, March 22th, 10:30 to 11:30am

The home has three gardens that feature tropical, drought-tolerant plants rich in texture, color and foliage, with an emphasis on sustainability. The front garden has succulents and uses minima instead of lawn, the back garden allows for entertaining, dining and swimming, while the “secret garden” – which the owners consider an intimate work of art – fulfills the quest to see a garden from every first floor window and door.
