The Wave Garden in Pt. Richmond CA.

The Wave Garden

The Hortisexuals visited The Wave Garden in Pt. Richmond on Sunday April 10.
A collaborative effort between the owner of the property, concrete artist Victor Amador and plantswoman Kellee Adams, a steep hillside over looking the San Francisco bay was organically built with undulating concrete walls and planted with an abundance of Mediterranean adaptable plants.
Beautifully sinuous hand wrought railings of iron slink down the hillside.
Bronzes sculptures punctuate the terraces.

enjoy the warm sunny tour.
