Rebecca's Former Front Garden
Los Altos, California
Over the past 18 years I’ve slowly reduced the dominating (and little used) front lawn, with the very last remnants removed a few years ago. Now, in place of the former lawn is a wide pebble pathway that gently winds through several lush and low-water garden beds.
This area of my garden consists of a combination of California natives and tough Mediterranean plants that provide color and interest year-round, while using much less water. The result is a tapestry-like garden that attracts wildlife and pollinators, provides flowers throughout the year, and is a source of endless joy for me. All while reducing our water bill by 30%.
