- Susan Taylor - Paradise Gardens Landscape was founded in 1990 by Los Angeles landscape designer Susan Taylor. A native of California and graduate of UCLA’s Horticulture Program, Susan is equally drawn to and inspired by the beauty and diversity of California’s natural terrain. Susan’s landscape designs can be as lush and bucolic as Napa Valley, or as rugged and grassy as California’s famous deserts. Always, her main concern is the people who will use and enjoy these gardens and how they integrate with the architecture of their homes and their lives. Paradise Gardens has been featured in Sunset Magazine,Valley Magazine and In Style Home Magazine.
