Sustainable Gardens

Sustainable gardens benefit us in so many ways: low water use, low maintenance, increased plant health, increased water retention, and improved wildlife habitat. In addition to a permeable gravel path, all the plants selected were considered drought tolerant and California friendly. Plus, they could handle the heat of the valley! We combined the strong forms of lavenders and westringia, with softer grasses, colorful ground covers such as gazanias, verbenas, and added hot pockets of salvias and penstemon.
