Variegated Plants


Harland Hand [1922-1998], inspired by the principles of fine art and rock formations in the High Sierra, designed this hillside garden with breathtaking views of San Francisco Bay.

Using concrete, curving lines and dramatic color combinations, Hand created an emotionally evocative space that houses an extraordinary plant collection.


We have a special affection for variegated plants and are always on the lookout for sports in the garden or new offerings in nurseries. To learn more about variegation, click here.
