In 1993, Victoria Avenue Forever undertook to improve a semi-abandoned plot of land on the northwest corner of Victoria and Jane. The landscape plan of this ‘water wise’ garden was developed by Richard Catron as one of the first Mediterranean plantings in the area. The garden was dedicated to a longtime and respected physician in town, Dr. Peter M. Lewis. The hardscape, irrigation system, and plants were funded by donations, and VAF volunteers did the planting and, to this day, maintain the garden.
