Santa Monica poolside garden plays up textures, color and fun

Whitney Green’s garden in Santa Monica, designed by Stephen Gabor of Gabor + Allen Inc., is made up of a series of colorful and playful vignettes that artfully mix low-water cactuses and succulents with fruit trees, roses and other blooming plants. Lemons drip over the backyard swimming pool, which reflects the patios and the outdoor shower’s blue tile. Under the arch is a shaded living room. The staircase to the terrace is dotted with potted plants.
