YOUR Thyme ProjectBrag about your Thyme Lawn, Patio Design Ideas and moreRon is a customer in Saskatchewan who has an on going project using real stone to build a patio and a walkway, and planting thyme amongst them.Thyme roots love the cool root run under the stones or pavers, and the tiny amount of moisture that will accumulate there. Good drainage is essential, both for the thyme and the patio. Two seasons later, Ron's patio is starting to take on a more established look. I'll let Ron tell you his story.

Xeriscaping - Landscaping with Less Water
Gardening with a Light Hand on the Land
The focus is on landscaping with easy care drought tolerant plants like Sedum, Sempervivum and thyme and using natural materials to build rock retaining walls and it's easy to see why.
It used to be that once in a while these kinds of plants would come to the fore, and successfully maneuver dry summers, but now it's obvious that these are the most suited to what is becoming the norm.
Interested in learning how to build a patio? See this page for patio design ideas.
Seeing how beautiful these unique landscapes are and how well they perform in challenging conditions will encourage others to find unique plants to use in their own xeric garden.
