Pocket Garden

North Berkeley

This North Berkeley backyard is a dream for entertaining and relaxing. The spacious decomposed granite patio and sapele floating bench can host an intimate dinner or a wild birthday party. The concrete and timber raised beds overflow with colorful, drought-tolerant plants and edibles too.
