CSU Channel Islands and Sunset team up

In fall 2003, California State University Channel Islands and Sunset held a competition for designers to create gardens within four of the university's courtyards. From 24 submissions, a panel of judges that included Sunset Garden writer Sharon Cohoon selected four winners: Scott Menzel, a landscape designer; architect Miguel V. Fernandez; architect Kathie Kottler; and landscape architect Karen Adnoff with Olea Landscape Architecture. Their designs reflect both the Spanish architecture of the campus and the agricultural heritage of the region, and they feature a wealth of water-wise gardening ideas. Visit www.csuci.edu or call 805/437-8400 for more information on the gardens.
