  • Description:
    Great info about this garden at: www.waterfriendlygarden.com. See the "News Source Link" for a nice write up. Since we did not know where to begin, we hired a landscape architect, Guy Stivers (who specializes in water-friendly gardens), to design a new landscape including the irrigation and drainage systems. The installation was completed in 3 months changing our yard into a water-friendly, beautiful garden paradise (see photo below). The landscape is now biodiverse and attracts a variety of wildlife including birds, bees and butterflies. The previous garden soil has been turned into living soil, filled with beneficial bacteria and insects. As the yard continues to mature, the soil is becoming more enriched as the organic nutrients naturally decompose. This in turn, provides healthy, organic nutrients to the plants and trees which allows them to grow healthy and resistant to pests. Note: the owners do not want their street address listed.
