Cory’s thoughts on his garden:
I love the variety of different plants, shrubs, and trees. I enjoy the seeing the changes that occur as the seasons change.
What our son likes about our garden:
Our son likes to play in and around the plants and pull veggies from the raised beds.
What surprises people most about our water-wise landscaping:
Many of the materials were provided free by the City of Petaluma through the city’s Mulch Madness Program.
What we like most about our water-wise garden:
It is so much more interesting than the traditional grass lawn and it uses far less water to keep it looking nice.
Saving water is important because…
fresh water is a limited resource and we need to do our part to preserve what we have for the benefit of all living things.
