YOUR xeric gardencan be included on a web page. Here you can see examples of my customers projects, and get inspired. If you have a low input garden with presence and impact, using natural, recycled or found materials and flesh out the bones of your hardscaping with a selection of drought smart plants, please share! Sarah contacted me in the summer of 2009, and I supplied three varieties of thyme for this project in Lilloet B.C., and in the spring of 2010 I'll supply the next phase with several varieties of border Sedum. Here's Sarahto tell you the story of her project.
Here is the site when it was under construction.
Here is the patio when it was under construction. I want to edge it with thyme.
Here is the site as it was last spring.
In this photo you can see the little clumps of thyme along the wall and steps...still very small. They've done well this summer.
I want to line the steps with thyme all the way down.
I plan to line the brickwork with thyme on the left. Woolley thyme is doing well there now, but I only have a few clumps. The hillside leading down to the patio I want to plant completely in thyme (over time). The terrace garden is to the right of that. I want to plant the tall Sedum to the right of the green hill, behind the rock border. There are two Sedum 'Autumn Joy' there now, and they seem to be happy. Adding a couple of other varieties should go well.
