Our garden has survived and even thrived this summer. The Raincatcher’s Garden was built using the 7 principles of Water Wise Landscaping:
- Planning and design
- Appropriate plant selection
- Practical turf areas
- Soil improvement
- Efficient irrigation
- Use of mulches
- Appropriate maintenance
With fall temperatures giving us a respite, maybe you are looking for plants and practices that will endure our hot Texas summers. Take a look below at what worked for us and as always we would love to have you come for a vsit.

DALLAS GARDEN BUZZ 
I have two evergreen wisteria bookending our outdoor kitchen and they bloom prolifically from spring through fall. They are absolutely huge and magnificent! Even though they don’t really have a fragrance, our bees love them.
