This yard had great bones with new shade sails and a cool rusted metal fence. She wanted to add liveliness to her narrow yard, creating a wild, but intentional space to enjoy.

As a plant-lover, she wanted one of everything! The choices seemed overwhelming and she wasn’t sure how to make it look cohesive and feel inviting.
SHE teamed up with Flecha Landscapes to install a diverse suite of plants and a simple irrigation system. The planting areas were mulched and the pathway was defined with a handsome rock border.
Together, we created the perfect spot for morning coffee and entertaining.

Sherry was a Master Gardener from a more temperate region before moving Tucson. Her patio home had great mountain views, but the yard was a blank slate.
After working on a plan together, Sherry installed her beautiful new garden herself – and her personality and green thumb shows through.
Three years later her garden still looks great, with pops of color and surprises in every corner. This garden was even featured in AZ Plant Lady’s must-have book, Dry Climate Gardening.
On a recent follow-up visit, I was delighted to catch a monarch butterfly nectaring in the garden!

Nancy’s new townhome is surrounded by beautiful natural desert. As avid birders, she and her husband wanted to be able to make the most of their small patio space.
SHE enlisted the help of Earthcare Landscapes to install irrigation and a carefully-selected mix of plants.
The species had to be beautiful, provide resources for birds, and be of appropriate scale for the small area. In addition, the species needed to be low-water use and low maintenance to match the busy lifestyle of these retirees.
This project really proves that you can do a lot with a small space!

Lets create the restorative desert garden you dream about
