This slope used to be nothing but sixty year old junipers. Now it's a tapestry of color and texture. Needs some time to grow in, but it's all there.

Full color year-round and drought tolerant. This garden is on a steep slope facing southwest (ie hot!) with an asphalt street radiating more heat and frequent deer visits.

This is the after view from the house to the street.

I love how the green patina of this copper bird bath cools all the rusty red tones in this garden.

Tons of water comes this way only in the winter, This plant combination can handle periodic inundation and long dry spells. Plus frequent dog walking traffic on a corner.

I'm a big fan of big leaves (sedum 'Autumn Joy') next to little leaves (ceanothus). I also see no reason why the artichoke (far left) can't be right in there with the other ornamental plants.

Stucco seating walls capped in stone connect the house to the outdoor space and provide a place for flowers, extra people and an occasional wine glass.

The adobe wall to the left was slated for demolition! Can you imagine! NO! We striped the years of paint off of it and it's now a unique architectural element visible from the dining room that is old and beautiful. Love that it was saved.

This little bed will be overflowing with big juicy leaves and bright white flowers in no time keeping the traditional feel of the home.

This corner would have been totally dead space if we hadn't added these raised planters and created a small seating area. Right outside the home office door, I think a quiet shaded seating area will get a lot of use.

It was really important to me to have the back patio at the same grade as the interior so that the spaces felt connected. (The architect's plan had four steps down from the kitchen into the backyard.) I'm really glad we went the extra mile here. Photo credit: Blue Skye
