Pueblo Xeric Garden Tour - 2

Second stop on the Pueblo Xeriscape Garden Tour was probably my least favorite, simply because all the garden was in front of the house so there was not so much to see. Tour guide says this about the stop: "This garden was planted to create a long succession of blooms and texture. The homeowners have resided here four years and have installed a lawn and fruit trees in the backyard. The shrub and flower beds are irrigated with a drip system. The tall ravennae grasses add a certain drama and punctuation to the landscape. The most intensely planted areas are close to the house where roses, flowers and herbs mingle." Most interesting spot here was the use of colored bark mulch to set off this arrangement of a rabbit and small bedding plants in the midst of the gravel mulch.
