Rock Garden

  • use the plentiful rocks already on the lot
  • build around existing rock placements if possible (not likely for some)
  • low maintenance, low water, environmentally appropriate plants
  • NO grass to mow.
Rock Garden - something like this on a much smaller scale

Kitchen Garden

  • Large raised planters; approximately 1.5m x 2.5m
  • Boundary-wall trellis
Box planter (use rock not wood)
Seating area, with fire pit - yum, s'mores!
