Xeriscape...

Several pictures showing low water plantings. They're still filling in, but are thriving in the hot Rogue Valley summer.

Olives...

Arbequina olive tree with olives. Arbequina is Spanish olive and considered one of the hardiest varieties of olive tree. This guy has over wintered in a pot for two seasons without any problems. Eventually these trees will be part of a mini-grove that will partially enclose the fourth side of our courtyard.
