Hand Trowel: A hand trowel is an indispensable tool for hand weeding. Its small size and pointed blade make it easy to access tight spaces and extract weeds without disturbing nearby plants. Look for trowels with ergonomic handles for added comfort during prolonged use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/cced9db5-1328-419f-86e7-e9e96d1e1b2a/hoe.png Blog - The Art of Weeding: A Green Thumb's Guide to Nurturing Your Garden - 2. Long-Handled Hoe: For larger areas and more extensive weed control, a long-handled hoe is a valuable asset. The extended reach minimizes the need to bend over, reducing strain on your back and making it easier to cover large swaths of the garden quickly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/8a67aa7a-f5a7-4e0b-a78e-fe3ca3240461/hand+cultivator.jpg Blog - The Art of Weeding: A Green Thumb's Guide to Nurturing Your Garden - 3. Hand Cultivator These three-pronged hand tools are great for digging weeds out of thick mulch, or loose soil. You’ll find it saves wear and tear on your gloves, as the prongs effectively mimic the action of your hands raking through the dirt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/63c8f6c4-43f8-4860-b913-adf9de7bb732/horihori.png Blog - The Art of Weeding: A Green Thumb's Guide to Nurturing Your Garden - 4. Hori Hori Knife: Originating from Japan, the Hori Hori knife is a versatile tool that can be used for both weeding and planting. Its serrated edge makes it effective for cutting through tough roots, while the pointed tip allows for precise removal of weeds. The word hori (ホリ) means "to dig" in Japanese and "hori-hori" is an onomatopoeia for a digging sound. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/1c372afd-8901-4799-9976-d07685fa8dd3/paint+scraper.jpg Blog - The Art of Weeding: A Green Thumb's Guide to Nurturing Your Garden - 5. Paint Scraper: I personally love a wide paint scraper for hoeing weeds with great efficiency - especially in paths made of decomposed granite where the trick is to scrape the weeds off the surface or the top ½” of material, leave them all to dry in the sun for a day, then go back with a blower or a fine metal leaf rake to quickly dispose of the dry weeds. https://xeric-oasis.com/blog/landscape-lighting monthly 0.5 2024-02-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/0a51242e-2963-4e0e-a0ef-19322ad762c8/lighting3.jpg Blog - Illuminating Elegance: The Significance of Landscape Lighting and Design - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/0e3547a5-64bb-4697-a0c6-eea0acf3e11f/lighting1.jpg Blog - Illuminating Elegance: The Significance of Landscape Lighting and Design - 1. Safety and Security: One of the primary reasons for incorporating landscape lighting is to enhance safety and security. Well-lit outdoor spaces reduce the risk of accidents by providing visibility along pathways, stairs, and potential tripping hazards. Adequate lighting also acts as a deterrent to intruders, increasing the overall security of the property. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/168f8818-3f80-4a6f-aa2c-2084273f1573/lighting2.jpg Blog - Illuminating Elegance: The Significance of Landscape Lighting and Design - 3. Creating Ambiance: The carefully orchestrated placement of lighting fixtures contributes to the creation of ambiance in outdoor spaces. Soft, warm lights can evoke a cozy and intimate atmosphere, perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening outdoors. On the other hand, strategic uplighting of trees or architectural elements can evoke a sense of drama and grandeur. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/b5e8c23d-caae-4696-ab11-096fe8b78e09/lighting4.jpg Blog - Illuminating Elegance: The Significance of Landscape Lighting and Design - 5. Focal Point Enhancement: Strategically placed lighting fixtures can turn ordinary elements into captivating focal points. A well-lit fountain, a gracefully illuminated tree, or a softly lit garden sculpture can become the center of attention, drawing the eye and creating a captivating visual experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/ed477f43-cb56-4c71-81d2-eba33b126ba0/lighting5.jpg Blog - Illuminating Elegance: The Significance of Landscape Lighting and Design - 6. Seasonal Adaptability: Landscape lighting offers the flexibility to adapt to different seasons and occasions. Colored lights or themed displays can be incorporated to celebrate holidays, while adjustable fixtures allow for modifications in intensity and direction, accommodating changes in foliage or landscaping. https://xeric-oasis.com/blog/why-lawns-are-a-problem monthly 0.5 2024-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/3a905bc4-8853-409b-86d1-7e70e7a0eaf4/Closeup_of_lawn_grass.jpg Blog - Why Lawns Are a Problem - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/2abea066-6851-4b2f-bc02-52aaf2b1c7fd/sprinkler.jpg Blog - Why Lawns Are a Problem - But for all of this feel-good valor, the cost that lawns place on us collectively is huge. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, every year across the country, lawns consume nearly 3 trillion gallons of water, 200 million gallons of gas (for all that mowing), and 70 million pounds of pesticides. They provide virtually no habitat for pollinators and other animals and plants that make up a healthy, diverse ecosystem. Rainwater runoff from lawns can carry pesticides and fertilizers into rivers, lakes, streams, and oceans. This can poison fish and other aquatic animals and harm humans who swim, surf, and eat seafood that may be contaminated. And then, of course, there is the air and noise pollution of lawn mowers, lawn edgers and leaf blowers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/1e7441dd-22ec-4c4c-a182-a647a3f3b5e4/43517d3876fff1fd60f846f9c27afd3a.jpg Blog - Why Lawns Are a Problem - In short, in this age of climate change, plastic turf doesn’t help cool the environment like natural foliage does. In fact, it can absorb the sun’s energy and warm up as much as asphalt, which increases the temperature of the surrounding environment. Many people think that the opposite of a lawn is a dead-looking yard of gravel and a few spindly cacti. When we say ‘xeriscape’, ‘xeric gardening’, ‘water-wise gardening, or ‘drought tolerant gardening’, many people cringe, because they envision a desiccated, hot, dry, uncomfortable place. https://xeric-oasis.com/blog/whats-the-difference-between-a-landscape-designer-and-a-landscape-architect monthly 0.5 2024-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/852f80f9-4172-4aa2-b497-3b7e5801e0e4/GCC_Classroom_Pix_%282016%262018%29_-_32122739357.jpg Blog - What’s The Difference Between a Landscape Designer and a Landscape Architect? - 1. Educational Background: The journey to becoming a landscape designer or a landscape architect begins with divergent educational paths. Landscape designers typically acquire formal education in horticulture, landscape design, or a related field. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/05232149-38cb-4cf1-86a9-9d396f1fa345/Urban_planning_museum_-_Model_of_a_Shanghai_bridge.JPG Blog - What’s The Difference Between a Landscape Designer and a Landscape Architect? - 2. Scope of Work: The primary distinction between the two professions lies in the scope of their work. Landscape designers focus predominantly on the aesthetics and functionality of outdoor spaces. They possess a deep understanding of plants, materials, and spatial arrangements, aiming to create visually appealing and harmonious designs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/92467894-097c-43fa-956b-91c2cbbde384/retaining+well.jpg Blog - What’s The Difference Between a Landscape Designer and a Landscape Architect? - 3. Project Scale: Landscape designers typically handle residential projects. Their expertise lies in crafting personalized outdoor spaces that cater to the specific needs and preferences of individual clients. Whether it's a relaxing backyard garden or a rooftop oasis, landscape designers bring a personal touch to their creations. In contrast, landscape architects are often involved in larger, more complex projects. They might be tasked with designing public parks, urban plazas, or corporate campuses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/e3da013d-3fcd-43cc-8f30-4c267b3f7b36/curb-appeal-foliage-plants-1051svw5KQC9FAtl-M9kOB-336092f31a7f475187c5171363808dec.jpg Blog - What’s The Difference Between a Landscape Designer and a Landscape Architect? - 4. Professional Responsibilities: The day-to-day responsibilities of landscape designers and landscape architects reflect the scope of their work. Landscape designers spend a significant amount of time meeting with clients, selecting plants, creating design plans, and overseeing the implementation of their projects. Their role is hands-on and directly connected to the visual aspects of the outdoor space. https://xeric-oasis.com/blog/taming-the-gopher-menace monthly 0.5 2024-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/8fb6744e-d781-47c0-b33f-bec199b0f0d3/Botta%27s_pocket_gopher_in_Golden_Gate_Park%2C_March_2020.JPG Blog - Taming the Gopher Menace: Sustainable Solutions for a Flourishing Garden By: Annie Gophers, those industrious burrowers with an insatiable appetite for plant roots, can transform a lush garden into a battleground for gardeners - nothing inspires more rage in a gardener than watching a favorite plant toppled by these hungry rodents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/a35eadef-6beb-4d2f-80f6-fdbd2470d2f0/coyote.jpg Blog - Taming the Gopher Menace: Sustainable Solutions for a Flourishing Garden Controlling Gophers: You may believe you can live peacefully alongside gophers and have a luscious garden, but we regret to inform you that the two are mutually exclusive, and no matter how nonviolent you are, you may come to believe that the only good gopher is a dead gopher. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/8a7f5957-f19d-4b88-8410-2a58f198a7f4/bobcat.png Blog - Taming the Gopher Menace: Sustainable Solutions for a Flourishing Garden - Avoid Poison At All Costs: Using poisons to eradicate gophers may seem like a quick fix, but it comes at a substantial cost to the environment, human health, and the overall well-being of your garden, and for the following reasons we do not recommend it: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/1706903404180-UGGTUNGFE5MDIPVKOI1Q/Cistus_%25C3%2597_incanus_Sunset_%25284777942947%2529.jpg Blog - Taming the Gopher Menace: Sustainable Solutions for a Flourishing Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/1706903345140-CAMXTBO4FJ7VO3X7J9QO/Lavandula.jpg Blog - Taming the Gopher Menace: Sustainable Solutions for a Flourishing Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/1706903345096-PVRZAHO11X8RPJLCPIU2/Penstemon.jpg Blog - Taming the Gopher Menace: Sustainable Solutions for a Flourishing Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/1706903344021-LNIAVD2B9BC1F2U9DLA2/iris-flower-blue-blossom-preview.jpg Blog - Taming the Gopher Menace: Sustainable Solutions for a Flourishing Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/1706903346022-1S9GDXU28E5VDE73WSH3/Salvia.jpg Blog - Taming the Gopher Menace: Sustainable Solutions for a Flourishing Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/1706903338728-WVX4JXU0FHLP1X8JSOX3/Achillea+millefolium.jpg Blog - Taming the Gopher Menace: Sustainable Solutions for a Flourishing Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/1706903342640-SB0NGJEL25JKXZ16F8NR/euphorbia.jpg Blog - Taming the Gopher Menace: Sustainable Solutions for a Flourishing Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/1706903338734-UQDCEZA6FQUBBCQONMCI/artemisia.jpg Blog - Taming the Gopher Menace: Sustainable Solutions for a Flourishing Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/1706903340970-TKNIGCNQN9L1NBKV6D2K/Ceanothus_-_California_lilac.jpg Blog - Taming the Gopher Menace: Sustainable Solutions for a Flourishing Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/1706903344149-HUO9DJPN9KCKYFL1K5L8/gaillardia.jpg Blog - Taming the Gopher Menace: Sustainable Solutions for a Flourishing Garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/1b487dda-38e4-4408-86b3-18b04492c36d/originalbasket4-700x700.jpg Blog - Taming the Gopher Menace: Sustainable Solutions for a Flourishing Garden - Using Gopher Cages for Plant Protection: Gopher cages, or wire baskets, provide a physical barrier that shields plants from gopher attacks.

Consider your trees Planting trees can seem controversial, especially in a state with a dangerous fire season, but if you do it right the presence of trees can be a game changer. “Almost everything you purchase depreciates. The exception is trees,” says Dan Beaulieu, real estate agent, contractor, and founder of Burlington House Buyers. “Trees that are mature add to the value of a home. The sheer presence of big trees increases property prices in an area by 4 percent to 20%.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/95efa652-ac05-45b0-ae24-e6faad5edeee/Landscape+lighting.jpg Blog - 8 Ways Landscaping Affects Your Home Value - 3. Install landscape lighting Quickly becoming one of the most sought-after outdoor landscaping features for home buyers, landscape lighting illuminates your home for sale perfectly as buyers do the obligatory evening drive through the neighborhood to get to know it better. "A well-lit yard automatically improves the overall look of the house, hence adding to its value," says Dan Beaulieu. "Solar-powered and LED lighting solutions have emerged as viable alternatives to traditional hard-wired lighting in recent years." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/9a15cc58-6edb-413b-9984-3c52c060dba0/4772093125_a09faf14f9_b.jpg Blog - 8 Ways Landscaping Affects Your Home Value - 4. Get cozy with a fire pit Our Bay Area evenings can be chilly, and as a result a fire pit was one of the most installed garden features during the pandemic when people wanted to get outside safely. Perfect for evenings under the stars with friends, a fire pit is one of the most easily recouped expenses for homeowners. The American Society of Landscape Architects released a survey that found fire pits were in the top ten backyard projects with 94% of consumers saying they were popular. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/9dc94b04-b3ac-44ec-99ef-7296109bee60/vision-protection-hedge-privacy-hedge-door-preview.jpeg Blog - 8 Ways Landscaping Affects Your Home Value - 6. Create privacy People love houses with huge windows - all that light flooding in is a very nice way to live. However, with those big windows comes a loss of privacy, and home buyers find that off-putting. A thoughtfully planted garden can screen you from the neighbors and passers-by, though. You can create seclusion and a sense of sanctuary with well chosen plantings and your home will be all that more attractive to buyers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/4f623ad3-a969-40fb-90d8-25e5fabd55e6/drought.jpeg Blog - 8 Ways Landscaping Affects Your Home Value - 8. Professional design is key Alex X. Niemiera, Professor, School of Plant and Environmental Sciences at Virginia Tech published a study that found that a home with great landscaping had a significant advantage over other similar homes with no landscaping. That advantage ranged from 5.5% to 12.7%, which translates into an extra $74,800 to $172,720 in value on an average $1,360,000 home in the Bay Area. That’s huge. But what is “great landscaping”? Ranking the factors that added to the perceived value of the home, design sophistication accounted for the greatest percentage of value added, at 42%, with plant size and diversity following close behind.

Non-Spiky Plants For Your Dry Garden Stachys byzantina (Lamb’s Ears) This classic standby native to Turkey, Armenia, and Iran is well loved for a reason - in fact, many reasons: the velvety leaves are soft as a lamb’s ears (softer actually - I have experience with the baby sheep version and the plant version), they’re super drought tolerant, their lilac colored flower spikes are honey scented and gorgeous, they create a wonderful ground cover, bees love them, and they seed around - although politely. Easy to remove to another spot, or share with friends. There are even variegated versions, and versions with larger leaves, but the classic species is my favorite. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/19c6f517-d1ec-4aac-8d1a-fb6b290ce806/Leucadendron+galpinii+.jpg Blog - Softer Than a Kitten! Non-Spiky Plants For Your Dry Garden Leucadendron galpinii (Galpin’s Conebush) This is a pretty evergreen shrub that grows to 6-7 feet tall and about 5 feet wide, and makes a lovely, informal hedge or screen. It has soft, narrow, silvery-gray leaves, and silvery-gray cones flushed with pink. Plant in full sun in lean, well-drained sandy to loamy soil. Water regularly in the first growing season to establish a root system - after that it tolerates drought. Fertilize sparingly - benefits from an occasional iron supplement; avoid fertilizers containing phosphorus. Occasional pruning will encourage denser growth, and it does well in warm coastal regions, tolerating wind and salt air. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/e09fe5ff-6060-44ce-b51f-0e87455a881b/Kalanchoe+tomentosa.jpg Blog - Softer Than a Kitten! Non-Spiky Plants For Your Dry Garden Kalanchoe tomentosa (Panda Plant) This native to Madagascar is a very cute little succulent that grows up to 18” tall, its thick leaves covered in a fuzzy gray-green coat with dark tips (like a panda - get it?) Grown indoors or out, it will enjoy bright light and fast draining soil that’s allowed to dry between waterings. Easy to propagate, you can simply place a leaf on dry compost and wait for roots to form. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/8fd41150-28a2-4c7b-bd34-a7310827b1b5/0A749FA5-5151-4B18-A913-1AA7CEF25CE8.jpg Blog - Softer Than a Kitten! Non-Spiky Plants For Your Dry Garden Salvia argentea (Silver Sage) Basically what we have here is Lamb’s Ears on steroids. Massive, crinkly, fuzzy leaves form a thick rosette all year, eventually producing a multi-armed flower spike of white blooms. They call it an annual but if you cut back the flower head I’ve had luck with it regrowing for several years. Slugs and snails love it as much as I do - bust out the Sluggo as needed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/9caa44c2-1de9-45b5-aaee-5a9fe678a5c4/80ECBFE7-3DE0-403E-9EE0-F286954774C6.jpg Blog - Softer Than a Kitten! Non-Spiky Plants For Your Dry Garden Tanacetum haradjanii (Silver Tansy) What a fantastic ground cover! Little feathery leaves mound over the edges of your beds and rock walls, and soften any situation. Tiny yellow pom pom flowers will cover the plant in summer, but they’re just a nice to have. It’s the foliage that’s the star here. Does well in full sun or part shade, and is very tolerant of drought. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/48e3439f-e135-4076-956f-34057e118e4c/327B584C-C8A4-4F97-88FC-B663DE968A6A.jpg Blog - Softer Than a Kitten! Non-Spiky Plants For Your Dry Garden Senecio candicans (Senecio ‘Angel Wings’) This showstopper has soft, white leaves that are luxuriously large and touchable. Angel Wings needs well-drained soil with low to moderate moisture and full sun to part shade. In the winter, allow the soil to dry between watering. Very drought tolerant when established. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/92abebfc-bc92-43d1-ab57-36fed72c4451/senecio+cineraria.jpg Blog - Softer Than a Kitten! Non-Spiky Plants For Your Dry Garden Senecio cineraria (Dusty Miller) Another classic in the “soft and silver” category, Dusty Miller is a small shrub, usually grown as a half-hardy annual foliage plant for borders and containers. Deeply lobed leaves are covered in a silvery grey felt; to get the best display cut back any flowers that develop - they’re much to look at. Likes well-drained soil in full sun, and less drought resistant than some others on this list. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/d6ddb834-cacf-4e29-a8d4-897c53e4f0b4/Muhlenbergia+capillaris.jpg Blog - Softer Than a Kitten! Non-Spiky Plants For Your Dry Garden Muhlenbergia capillaris (Pink Muhly Grass) When you see a mass of Pink Muhly Grass doing its thing in the evening light, the rosy, fluffy glow of it all is irresistible. Native to the central and eastern parts of the United States and south to Mexico and Guatemala, this grass grows in clay or thin rocky soils, with excellent drainage. Long-lived, resistant to deer, and other pests, this ornamental grass tolerates heat, humidity, drought, and poor soil and is highly salt tolerant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/b06028b3-a797-4a64-a994-044845158131/sideritis.jpg Blog - Softer Than a Kitten! Non-Spiky Plants For Your Dry Garden - Sideritis oroteneriffae (Canary Island White Sage) The genus Sideritis contains several species that are fantastic, but this one is my pick of the lot. Forming a nice little shrub about 4’ high and 3’ wide, the white fuzz-covered leaves are as spongy soft as a Twinkie. They’re almost like felt. This one can take a hard pruning and come back as happy as ever, likes a well drained, sunny position, needs no summer water, and has pale chartreuse flowers held on long, twirly spikes that just won’t stop blooming. Bees love it, to boot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63a369dd4c75ae183e1f6f51/118d8b0a-b8a8-43e0-a572-9190af9030cb/Didelta+Silver+Strand.jpg Blog - Softer Than a Kitten! Non-Spiky Plants For Your Dry Garden - Didelta 'Silver Strand' An elegant choice for hanging baskets, containers or tumbling over rock gardens, this low growing semi-trailing shrub is just about bullet proof in summer heat, and reaches just 10” high. Velvety almost white leaves make this a great moon garden plant too. Grown as an annual in many locations, we are trialling it this year and will keep you updated on how it grows through winter. https://xeric-oasis.com/blog/is-collecting-rainwater-worth-it monthly 0.5
