The Opposite of My Garden

Three years ago, my in-laws moved from Cedar Ridge (literally on a ridge straight up a hill from Sonora) where the deer and antelope play - well, the deer do anyway - to five acres just outside of Sonora where the hills roll a bit more gently and the deer don't use their front yard as a playground. They installed a beautiful "waterwise" garden and I have enjoyed watching it fill in everytime we visit.

I snapped some iPhone pictures last weekend to share here. Since this garden is the complete opposite of mine (soggy shade), there's quite a few plants I'm unfamiliar with, so I'll just post the pictures and let you enjoy!
