Sometimes it’s the quirky little details that make a garden memorable. In Randy Bolin and Tom Nelson’s garden in Oakland, California, a colorful little plastic lizard peeks out from behind a group of plants along a path, making visitors do a double-take, if they’re paying attention, that is!

    I love Randy and Tom's sense of humor, maybe because it mimics mine? Excellent lizard!
