• Description:
  Converted a typical front yard lawn into a beautiful landscape that prevents polluted runoff and uses rainwater to water the landscape: - Directing rainwater downspouts into dry stream beds (swales). - Utilizing So California native plants. - Also converting the parkway (strip between the sidewalk and street) was also converted. The project was partially financed by the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Foundation (http://santamonicabay.org/) as a demonstration garden, with labor and design assistance overseen by SMBRF employee, Mark Abramson, who is a landscape architect.
