All about California gardening, backyard garden tours, and Mediterranean climate gardening. I explore my Zone 9 / Zone 10 California garden, share seasonal updates, discover beautiful plants that thrive in my West Coast gardens. You'll find garden tours, nursery visits, backyard inspiration focused on drought-tolerant plants, succulents, cottage garden flowers, and pollinator-friendly planting. Gardening in a Mediterranean climate means working with water-wise gardening, California native plants, low-water landscaping while still creating a lush, colorful garden.
