Many
gardeners are striving to achieve what has been achieved at the San Jose Motel.
A chic modern clean lined project that is also horticultural interesting. Horticultural
interesting is the key. There is a lot of thought to find interesting and unusual
plants that grow well and provide a good compliment to the architecture and
desired feeling for this motel. From the Mexican Sycamores (Plantanus mexicana)
to the Beschorneria septentrionalis. There are many plants of interests in a
fairly formal setting
The
San Jose was a run down transient stop over when i was a kid. It has been transformed
into a destination stop on south Congress and the landscape contributes so much
to making it distinctive.
The
great thing about this project is it will only get better through the years
"if they stay the course" and it doesn't change hands.
