The Trustees family is the second owner of the home originally built in 1957. The background of the family selling the home dates back into the 60's. As a college professor, the trustees father took a position teaching overseas where they lived for 6 years while traveling throughout Europe in their VW camper bus. In 1970 Her mother bought the Cardinal residence while working at UCSB while her daughter (the trustee) attended School at UCSB. As the trustee was completing a horticulture degree at City College, the professor who headed the department had her make the backyard garden into a year long project. He regularly came to the house to see the progress of the project and sit in the garden while having coffee with her mom.

Those gardens have now matured, lives have come and gone, but the legacy of the gardens and the love of the home shall be passed on through generations to come.
