This environmentally friendly garden has been landscaped to reflect a water-wise style. Landscape designer Gina Bush completely removed the lawn and worked carefully with Shelby and David to develop a drought resistant garden that correlates beautifully with the contemporary ranch architecture of their home. Trees, shrubs, ground covers and ornamental grasses show how foliage textures and colors can combine for beautiful effects. In the front garden, Crape Myrtle and Olive Trees serve as visual anchor points for the ground cover areas of Gazania, prostrate Myoporum, Rosemary, Ajuga, Dymondia and Ceonothus. Agave, Phormium and Cordyline contribute structure and dramatic form. The backyard invites entertaining with a large patio. Gina Bush will be available to speak to on the day of the tour at this, house #7!
