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!

For past entries with views of this garden, click here, here, here, here, and here.

Welcome to the Fine Gardening GARDEN PHOTO OF THE DAY blog! Every weekday we post a new photo of a great garden, a spectacular plant, a stunning plant combination, or any number of other subjects. Think of it as your morning jolt of green.
