Native Landscape meets Xeriscape
Surrounded by Okanagan hillside, this landscape creates a seamless transition from existing native sages, grasses, oregon grape, elderberry and mock orange to a variety of low maintenance, xeriscape garden areas. Year-round interest is achieved with densely planted perennial flowers and shrubs, diverse plant food sources for insect pollinators, a self-seeding annual flower and grasses meadow, and a dry sedum and gravel garden border.
The homeowners appreciate the addition of vibrant colour and textures to their indoor and outdoor views.
