Claudette's Botanical Garden - December 6th, 2014

 We started in September 2014 to remove 1585 square feet of living lawn to be replaced with drought tolerant plants.  We installed a new drip water system, five separate area of plants, a flagstone walk with concrete trim filled with pea gravel and a new 3 person swing.  One of the areas is a cactus area w/o water.  Another is just succulents in an oval shape. One is a large 18 foot in diameter circuit divided in 6 sections.  Plus, two accent areas.  We planted over 100 new plants during the 3 months of construction.

Here is an early view of my Botanical Garden.  It shows section 4 which I call, "the Oval".

This version has some errors in the plant names which will be corrected in a later version.

We decided to remove the mulch  at the end of 2016 and replace it with gravel
