A head-on view of Orange Coast College's Ornamental Horticulture Club's first-place winning garden installation at the 2012 South Coast Plaza Spring Garden Show in Costa Mesa, CA. The theme for the show was "healing gardens", and the OCC team installed a "garden for the visually impaired."

This picture was taken Thursday April 27, 2012 at ~9pm, less than 48 hours after my in-progress pictures.
