RIPON – Visitors to the Wever family’s gardens can easily find themselves transported to a Mediterranean villa.One side of the back yard particularly summon that ambiance – thanks to a splashing wall fountain framed by thick and lush foliage of different plant varieties that harkens back to that part of the world, a gigantic river stone fireplace, thick stands of flowering trees and shrubs that include a rose garden, and spacious walkways in the center of it all featuring symmetrically arranged and warm-colored stepping stones with miniature Mondo groundcover grasses planted in between to soften the scene.This is the peaceful backdrop for the two outdoor dining areas located in two corners of the back yard.Another section of the back yard gardens is dominated by a majestic and towering 100-plus-year-old olive tree that came with the property when this Spring Creek Golf Course subdivision was developed. Carlyn and Barry Wever, who equally share gardening duties in addition to sharing a common love for gardening, took advantage of the impressive olive with branches that look like giant fingers reaching to the sky and turned it into a visual centerpiece for this cool garden corner next to the covered patio. Oversized glass walls from the living room bring this calming and cool outdoor garden inside the home.Beneath the branches of the olive tree is a bench that is visually enveloped by all the green foliage, interspersed with colorful flowers from different flowering plant varieties.
