GARDENS
The front door of the home is flanked
by sago palm and fig ivy topiaries, and
window boxes on both levels add to
the Southern charm. A central fountain, located in front of the entrance,
includes a small cherub lovingly covered in fig ivy. The fountain, given
to the husband by his grandmother,
Amie Woo (who immigrated from
China), is a cherished family favorite.
Although garden maintenance in the
winter is minimal, as the seasons progress the warmth and tropical climate
provide a perfect atmosphere for the
boxwoods and Podocarpus to thrive.
It is a sizable chore to keep these fresh
and manicured.
