Even apartment buildings can do drought tolerant landscaping. This gem is on 2nd Avenue.

I guess they didn't get the memo at 5th and Pennsylvania.

Florence Elementary has lovely drought tolerant landscaping and seems never to be watered

In Hillcrest, we live among beautiful canyons like Maple

5 Gold Stars to the great landscaping on 3rd Avenue.



















5 Demerits to the neglected lot across the street from this fabulous garden. It would make a great community garden.
