Colorful plant combinations and groupings along a decomposed pathway in a San Anselmo garden in northern California. Phormiums, native Penstemon, Snow in Summer, Lambs Ears and other colorful plants create a beautiful low-water tapestry of plant groupings welcome you along the flagstone pathway to the home's entrance and side patios.

A stately pergola defines the space in this Mediterranean garden in Sleepy Hollow, San Anselmo garden. Decomposed granite replaced the thirsty lawn. Lawn minimized and surrounded with drought tolerant plants that withstand the drought.

This San Anselmo, CA landscape in Marin county was completely redesigned to replace a large portion of the thirsty lawn. I created curving paths and adjacent areas using decomposed granite (DG) and flagstone. The plantings include CA native plants and other drought tolerant plants chosen to provide year-round color and appeal. Something is always in bloom in this garden!
