Exquisite Gardens

This is my neighbor's exquisitely manicured front garden. Yes. He's English.

This is my transition to a fully xeriscaped front garden. I'm one-third complete. [and my neighbors hate me] [but i love my glider when the weather and mosquitoes allow]

Although you can't see them behind the wildflowers, there are three varieties of rosemary and two varieties of lavender. The green grass is primarily clover that wakes up quickly with any precipitation at all. Aside from deep drip soaks of the transplants and bur oaks, zero water is used to maintain this front garden. The Google images above were taken in the winter. This image was taken today.
