Front yard desert garden index
In February 2014 we decided to remove an overgrown Japanese mock orange hedge ( Pittosporum tobira ) along the street side of our property and replace it with a variety of desert natives and suitable companion plants. Even though the hedge was technically along the narrow side of the back yard, I’ll refer to this project as the “front yard desert garden” because it is an extension of the planting strip that wraps around the front yard. This index lists all the posts pertaining to this project.
