| | Lani and Kris wanted a garden but they have two children and live on a busy street corner. During the design stage safety and privacy were the top priorities. They live in a friendly neighborhood so they didn't want to wall themselves out but they also had concerns for their son who is autistic. He could be a little unpredictable at times and his world needed to be very secure.

| | The vine over the gate and to the left is Passiflora vitifolia PASSION VINE. It is an evergreen vine that performs well in part shade. This passion vine is a delight with it's broad deep green leaves set off by bright red flowers. The flower buds are super interesting with a transparent like shell that has pronounced red veins. To the right, the garden is in more shade, the vine you see there is Akebia quinata FIVE FINGER VINE. | |

| | Lani and Kris were very good about staying on top of their maintenance. Abutilon was a request of theirs, they just love it, but to look good you need to irrigate and pinch, pinch, pinch. | |

| | A busy corner for sure, but this garden has an open flow and is safe and secure. | |
