Inspired by the setting
San Luis Obispo’s wine country always feels like fall, because the hills surrounding its rolling vineyards are golden much of the year. Homeowners
Jim and Jamie deYong chose to mimic those sunny hues in their garden.
A half-dozen species of ornamental grasses grow in neat rows near the perimeter of the garden, tying it to neighboring vineyards.
In the front and back courtyards, carex and other short grasses continue the theme, while fiery foliage and flowers add to
the autumnal mood. It’s a simple formula that can produce striking results in any garden, even with no vineyard nearby.
