Plunge Bath, Eric Kalman

Sierra Snowpack is 5% of its normal amount as of April 1. With apologies to avid skiers, the rest of us can use this as inspiration to replace our traditional ‘looks great in England/Japan/Polynesia’ gardens with striking water-sipping landscapes.

Los Angeles turf rebates are up to $3.75/sq. foot. Nurseries are actually growing a variety of diverse and beautiful non-thirsty plants. And now is the optimal time to prepare for Fall planting.

If DS can assist in your transition to a beautiful garden with drought survivability, please contact us. (We book up fast for the cooler Fall months.)

Or the Theodore Payne Foundation (Eventbrite) has a marvelous design your own series. Starts April 11!

But just do it.
