Carlsbad Garden Club

Elaine Willingham, a member since 2002 and our President from 2003-2005, lives in a home with the Batiquitos Lagoon as her background. Fascinated by the curved borders of the Lagoon seen in an aerial view, she used those curves when she designed her garden. From the side of her front yard and the back of her home, the circles prevail. She uses a water feature and an olive tree to provide height with the many ground loving plants. Her herb garden includes succulents for year round appeal while the herbs are a seasonal culinary delight. You can just glimpse the Lagoon behind Elaine and her favorite gravia.
