A hidden garden offers peace and tranquility in the backyard of Pete Gresham and his wife’s home in Orange are a foliage paradise. Pete and Janice Gresham have turned a back yard into a beautiful getaway with a relaxing atmosphere enhanced with an outdoor fireplace and even a waterfall. The couple moved into the subdivision 22 years ago after Pere built it. “My favorite part of the garden is the fireplace,” Pete said. “We really enjoy it.” Pete suggests before starting your own backyard paradise to decide how much work you want to put into it. “I have 200 pots here,” Pete said. “You have to have an idea of what you want before you start and take into consideration how much sun and shade you will have.”
