A California native garden growing in beach sand.

This garden was also installed by Dante D'Alfonso(who also designed it) Dante used a number of monkey flowers and sages for fast cover with Ceanothus as the slower long term fill plants. The soil is beach sand. Sages and Monkey flowers grow in abundance in beach sand.
A block of Salvia 'Pozo Blue' along the driveway.

A bird bath was included in the design along a path of native perennials. Native landscaping should be fun! A birdbath with Erigeron 'Wayne Roderick' and monkey flowers along a garden path.

Most native plants love rocks and shredded redwood mulch places on top of the planting. Native landscapes should look native!

The customer went on and on about how this red monkey flower was in flower most of the year with hummingbirds always about.
