Tiburon Hillside
The hillside garden responds to movement of the wind, flow of the water and warmth of the sun with an artful integration of storm water management practices. Rhythmic landforms and a grassy swale slow stormwater flow, allowing it to percolate into the ground and divert it away from the house. The meandering path and sitting area nestle in a warm pallet of colors maximizing the use of the side property and views of the San Francisco Bay. Low maintenance and drought & deer tolerant planting provide a gracious transition between the built environment and the adjoining openlands.

Front yard when we rip down that weird thing in the front yard... put down along fountain

I like the mix of plants. They're all CA native drought resistant.

Not most favorite flowers, but love that the hill is covered and low water.

mix in lavender and smaller plants near the bottom
