For this project, I handed off a design to the clients in 2022, and they planted the garden themselves. It was fun to go by a few years later and see the vision in its maturity.
The design included 100% native plants, with the exception of the hedge, which is 'Wynyabbie Highlight' westringia (Westringia 'Wynyabbie Highlight'), a variegated Australian shrub. The California natives included many of the usual suspects: ceanothus, manzanita, bush monkey-flower, St. Catherine's lace buckwheat, Cleveland sage, and Matilija poppy for the sunny, south-facing portion of the front yard; and hummingbird sage, red-flowering currant, California coffeeberry, and evergreen huckleberry for the northeast-facing side yard.
