Molten gold planters are fitting for a garden Howard Hughes once owned, don’t you think? Garden designer Kathleen Ferguson added glamor and just the right amount of glitz to the Old Hollywood hacienda (and created play spaces for her clients’ four children). Come with us on a tour of the grounds.
Molten gold pots hold tall Euphorbia variegate 'Ammak' that look like cacti.
The homeowners chose gold fixtures indoors, so Ferguson repeated gold elements throughout the garden.
Cobblestone repeats throughout the garden.
Succulents dot the slope at the back of the house.

An Agave sisilana variegata thrives in the hot climate.
Glazed pots hold a variety of succulents.
A kidney-shaped pool was replaced with a rectangular one that is easier to cover.
In all, there are 80 planters, most with succulents.
