A lab for Western gardening
Welcome to Sunset's gardens in Menlo Park, California. The grounds here are part of our lab for Western living, where editors
and staff test their ideas.
The garden was originally designed by Thomas Church, the dean of Western landscape architects. A 2000 renovation by Chris Jacobson and Beverly Sarjeant added a fresh new look but kept much of the original border, with
distinct areas representing the major climate zones of the West.
Here, 'Blue Ribbon' Dutch iris and pheasant’s-tail grass (Stipa arundinacea) frame the view.
