Project

Our goal was to create a vibrant, sustainable landscape that reflects both beauty and responsibility. Because our garden covers a large area, we made water conservation a top priority. Instead of a traditional lawn, we chose low-water plants that thrive in our climate while still delivering bold color, texture, and year-round interest. The result is a water-efficient garden that’s anything but boring — proof that a lush, colorful landscape doesn’t have to come at the cost of excess water use.

Plants Used

California Poppy, Pride of Madera, Purple Sage, Calendula,  and Sweet Alyssum
