Jodie’s no-lawn entry garden in California

“ I ’m a Landscape Designer in southern Orange County and a number of our water districts are offering attractive rebates to encourage people to off their lawn and replace them with unthirsty plants and water - permeable surfaces . After replacing lawn for some of my clients , I decide to take advantage of this programme at my own home .

“ My lawn was supervene upon with kangaroo paw ( Anigozanthos ‘ Amber Velvet ’ ) , lavender scallop ( Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi ) , Santa Barbara daisy ( Erigeron ‘ Spindrift’–reported to be a non - selfseeding cultivar ) , and blue fescue ( Festuca glauca ‘ Elijah Blue ’ ) . ”

I screw it , Jodie ! ! It must have been a annoyance to drag out the lawn lawn mower for that trivial patch of grass , anyway , and the fresh garden is beautiful . As an east coast gardener , I ’m just starting to empathise the no lawn drift . It ’s not quite as authoritative in the Northeast , but in California it must make a huge deviation in water usage . Bravo .
