BEFORE AND AFTER in Sunnyvale, California -

This amazing garden transformation took four years to establish.  The front entryway to this house was re-envisioned with sun-loving, drought tolerant evergreen perennials, shrubs, and trees.

The homeowner's idea to repaint the house colors made the entire space more appealing when viewed from the sidewalk or street.


The above photo, taken in Spring 2020, 
shows the garden four years after the 
installation of Teucrium chamaedrys 
(WallGermander), ornamental grasses, 
and a small Olive tree.



 The above photo, taken in 2016,  
shows a background of tired yellow 
Japanese Forest Grass that didn't feel lush 
or inviting to walk by.  In the foreground, 
one gallon Teucrium chamaedrys 
(Wall Germander) were just beginning to be 
introduced through the garden spaces.
