Brody estate plantings
Landscape designer Garrett Eckbo called for hundreds of trees, shrubs, vines and ground covers — not to mention nearly 18,000 square feet of lawn — for the Brody estate. It was common practice for him to plant dozens, even hundreds, of the same item. Here are highlights from his Brody planting list:
Bugleweed: 2,000 flats
Canary Island ivy: 4,000 flats
Canary Island pine: 22 in 5-gallon containers
Star acacia: 100 in 1-gallon containers
Cape honeysuckle: 375 in 1-gallon containers
Sugar sumac: 95 in 1-gallon containers
Ice plant: 20,000 cuttings
