Randy Bolin and Tom Nelson have a multi-purpose garden, with places to bathe, cook, eat, entertain, grow vegetables, and even sleep! They created this spectaular nook for that purpose. How dreamy would it be to take a long afternoon nap here? Today starts a full week of photos from Randy and Tom's exotic and intriguing garden in Oakland California. Enjoy!
