Zen Japanese garden redesign with CA native and drought tolerant plants.
This peaceful (winter scene) Zen Japanese garden was created by adding CA native plants and drought tolerant planting. The garden was designed for an elderly couple so low maintenance was a priority. They have a gardener come once a month for cleanup, no lawn. Established trees and shrubs were left as is and the garden was redesigned around them.
I will post more pictures when trees leaf out in spring and then again with fall color, later. - AFLA Landscape Architecture
