Our market extends from<br />

far East Texas, north to<br />

Utah and Colorado, and<br />

west into Central California.<br />

Many soil types, many<br />

hardiness zones and<br />

many varied conditions.


Are we running out of water


We have to do better<br />

than this


Windmill Palm<br />

Yes, its xeric<br />

BUT


Yes there are always special situations where a special plant<br />

Form is necessary


The picture postcard from the West need not be


With a sense of place, we can achieve something even better


This is what it is all about


But above it all<br />

We are always on the lookout for<br />

something new and different<br />

Or something old and tried.


No<br />

It is not the <strong>Southwest</strong><br />

It’s the Mediterranean Garden Society in Athens, Greece<br />

An area receiving only 9” of rainfall in a year


There are just lots of great plants out there that are more<br />

than willing to be beautiful for us….with little water.


Why should landscapes look like the mid west, like an English garden


Dry, low rainfall, its who we are


This is a part of what<br />

MEXICO really is


And the Americans are up in the trees


One must stop for fuel along the way


What are we looking for<br />

Adapted to heat, low water, salinity<br />

Tolerant of abuse and critters<br />

Disease resistant<br />

Something with sex appeal<br />

A plant consumers will succeed with


Sometimes, helping to be<br />

WAY OUTSIDE THE BOX IN DESIGN


And just because its native or adapted, doesn’t mean its well done.


Lets get a<br />

close look

Remember, it is forbidden to live in a<br />

town which has no garden or greenery.<br />

Kiddushin 4:12<br />

Recuerden, que es prohibido vivir en<br />

Una ciudad sin arboles y sin jardines.<br />

Kiddushin 4:12


One must expose oneself to nature


And sometimes you can sneak up<br />

on them when they are in bloom


Even in the Argentine Andes and in this country, Invasives are<br />

a problem


And just not everything works for everyone.


Sometimes, things just happen in our own<br />

back yard.


Course once you do find something, everyone wants a piece of it


Sometimes, the going ain’t fun


And the natives are sometimes ODD


Go find a native or adapted plant<br />

to pet and love
