Gardens!
Friday, October 7th, 2011One of the really neat things about California are all of the gardening possibilities. We are a zone 9 or 10 out here and that means you can grow just about anything. I am particularly intrigued by all of the xeriscape or low water gardens out here. Water is definitely scarce and it is the responsible thing to do. I am inspired by how beautiful they can be!
Here are some gardens that my pooches and I pass by on our daily walks:
