Before, during and after- our drought tolerant garden update.

When we last updated you our backyard looked something like this-- Martin Pierce Hardware Los Angeles Ca  90016

And now, with the drip system in place

As you can see, our little ceramic birdbath remains part of the new design plans, which I am certain will make our feathered friends happy.  Some of the plants and grasses we decided to use include:

  • This Golden barrel cactus – Iris beware!
  • Martin Pierce Hardware Los Angeles, Ca  90016

  • Aeonium clyclops
  • Agave
  • Blue fescue - a hardy drought resistant grass

The next step will be to put down the decomposed granite and sand to create pathways.

We purchased all of the exotic plants from World Wide Exotics Nursery and the blue fescue grass from Armstrong Nursery in Glendale.
