This contemporary garden offers a contrast of hard and soft foliage textures; the path gently flows through the garden of low growing ornamental grasses and structurally shaped succulents which offer visual interest and evergreen color throughout the year.

Garden Highlights

• Low maintenance planting design
• Rainwater is collected from roof downspouts and directed to swales to replenish the ground water and encourage soil microbes
• Plants chosen adapt well to both full sun and part shade conditions which can be a small garden challenge
• Permeable pathways to sink the rainwater into the soil
