[medit-plants] our first time to Lotusland

---

My wife and I visited Lotusland in Santa Barbara this past fall, as part of the MGS Annual Meeting.  Was far larger than I imagined!  Some very impressive plantings and some good ideas.  The slag glass edging started to become a bit cliche - I thought it was best in the 'blue' garden and should be more restrictively used.  One of the most interesting plantings was espaliered Leptospermum laevigatum, Australian Tea Tree over a walkway arbor.  Quite wonderful!  Would love to see that employed in the Bay Area.
