Lighting the Landscape

On a recent trip to California I had a great opportunity to visit with some friends. Part of the trip was business and or course some relaxing too.

While out and about I always try to keep a focus on plants – both indoors and out as well as ways to get more enjoyment from them. One area that caught my attention while out in Sanata Barbara was outdoor landscape lighting.

Staying at the Fess Parker Doubletree every night when coming back from dinner I got to experience the beauty of the landscape in new ways all because of lighting.

There were some lights permantetly attached or mounted around trees and others areas just made subtle highlights with low voltage lights, and all in a variety of styles.

I’ve included a few pictures just to share some some ideas… also check out the store for outdoor lighting options.

This is a Ficus tree with a “spotlight” style outdoor light fixture.

This lighting fixture illuminates pathways and walkways…

Here’s a bunch of other ideas for landscape lighting at your home.
