My wife (Nicole) and I have been planning on landscaping our yard (our mess as she calls it) for over a year but have been stuck on what types of plants, where we should place them and the overall theme of our yard. With all of the recent drought talk (which by the way I find slightly funny being as we live in a desert, of course there’s a water shortage) we wanted make sure we kept it simple and water conscious. I called the local water authority for ideas and they highly recommended “The Garden” at Cuyamaca College.
Saturday as a mid day excursion we drove over to the college not really knowing what to expect. “The Garden” which covers 4.2 acres is located right in front of the community college and was completely worth the visit. As you walk through the garden its leads you through the “design loop”, “maintenance loop” & “irrigation loop” teaching you how to create a beautiful landscape while keeping water usage low and your water bill lower. I highly recommend visiting “The Garden”, take a lunch and sit down at the many benches and enjoy your surroundings.
