When we had a new fence installed, we found out it had to be done at an angle because of some stupid rule due to the proximity of my neighbor's garage (stupid beach community--houses built on top of each other!). So, that left us with a piece of land that was rightfully ours that I wanted to do something with. I thought it was a good opportunity for me to do what I've been wanting to do--a "California Garden."
What is that, for all of you non-Californians?
It's a garden that utilizes plants native to California, which are considered more environmentally sound since they use less water, generally speaking.
Here's a nice list of plants.
I plan to extend this California Garden to the side of my house too, once I find the right inspiration for such pursuits.
