Buckwheats and sage make up the main color of the garden, accenting the darker foliage of the foundation shrubs the home owner opted to keep.

purposes but no cohesive look. Providing the client with a vegetable bed to farm in allowed them to organize their yard around functionality and beauty, rather than a mishmash of different plants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/62ec46fd-d5b2-4c6a-8a82-7c8681642f7c/IMG_5483.jpg Portfolio - 156th Street Front Yard After Planting: Palmer's Mallows contrast the buckwheats, which steal the show only six months after being planted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/0f16b5c1-0677-4fd8-8d56-c60fc4ab9602/IMG_4913_edited.jpg Portfolio - 156th Street Front Yard Before Planting: The vast expanse of empty lawn on the left was under utilized. Gutters, a rain barrel, and a dry river bed to slow and absorb the water off the roof, now dot the landscape. During the rain, the river bed channels water away from the house, but slows it down enough to percolate into the ground. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/f647f544-2e0b-45bb-93cb-6f8af92d239c/IMG_5479.jpg Portfolio - 156th Street Front Yard Cleveland Sage sits on a berm above the dry stream bed and offers a heady aroma whenever you pass by. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/d9a2750a-5501-4c18-b76d-6c39ed648bbc/IMG_5481.jpg Portfolio - 156th Street Front Yard Close up on the dry stream bed, which soaked up 8300 gallons of water over the course of the 2023 rain season. The water will be available to the plants later in the year, requiring less watering from the owner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/f1cb2553-f9ad-4d83-86ea-908773bf77c6/IMG_4915.jpg Portfolio - 156th Street Front Yard Before Planting: The grass provided far less function than the rain bed, and far less beauty as well https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/05372ddc-d072-4e0b-bbf4-5b3ec511acc3/IMG_5489.jpg Portfolio - 156th Street Front Yard Penstemons and Vebena draw in hummingbirds, while the buckwheats feed many other pollinators, like native bees and butterflies. https://www.helloyarrow.com/portfolio-1/project-two-ky966-948ts monthly 0.5 2023-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/f5dbf524-0a98-4da6-8745-800b29fec166/DSC_8620.jpg Portfolio - Park Avenue Front Yard After Planting: The west side receives the most sunlight. Hummingbird Fuschia, Pozo Blue Sage, and Baby Bear Manzanita bring color and structure to this hot section of earth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/d5b22ec5-640b-4411-becb-1b201ec95e17/IMG_5629_before_edtied.jpg Portfolio - Park Avenue Front Yard Before planting.

Milkweed is scattered around the sidewalk and driveway, providing an opportunity to see Monarch caterpillars up close https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/fe81d91f-df33-4780-ae71-cf893c1bde8f/IMG_5650_before.jpg Portfolio - Park Avenue Front Yard Before planting. The walkways were lined with prickly succulents that, once they reached their full size, provided a painful welcome home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/646f125e-4ee6-4474-8f15-eda18a059ad8/DSC_8616.jpg Portfolio - Park Avenue Front Yard After Planting: Wider, the clients opted to keep the olive tree out of respect to its age and potential to provide shade. The understory has been planted with bunchgrasses, white sage, penstemons and mallows to bring color from spring to late summer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/79158158-ee67-4de5-a696-2dbbe6033cad/DSC_8625.jpg Portfolio - Park Avenue Front Yard After Planting: Colorful buckwheats adorn the walk up. As the summer drags on they'll turn to a rust color, contrasting with the light brown hues of the roof and fencing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/947eb904-adb5-4eaa-b077-5c9acebacbc6/DSC_8684-Edit.jpg Portfolio - Park Avenue Front Yard After Planting: Walk up to the front yard, flanked by Canyon Prince Wild Rye, buckwheats, and fragrant white sage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/4f71eb23-334c-45cd-8ca5-e7ad3873105a/DSC_8639.jpg Portfolio - Park Avenue Front Yard After Planting: More bunchgrasses along the driveway path to break up an endlessly hot stucco wall.

Baby Bear Manzanita, left, will grow to roughly six or eight feed and provide winter interest with their blooms, along with year long interest with its red bark and bright green leaves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/d56d70e0-d521-43e2-96a8-c97d74406c3a/DSC_8653.jpg Portfolio - Park Avenue Front Yard After Planting: Even more red buckwheat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/146fc15e-64c7-45df-942f-9978df8b84a7/DSC_8655.jpg Portfolio - Park Avenue Front Yard After Planting: Fragrant Pozo Blue Sage invites you to stop and smell it as you walk up the sidewalk after work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/d52ed212-1ef6-4b74-88a7-2ae2abae48b3/DSC_8659.jpg Portfolio - Park Avenue Front Yard After Planting: California Fuschia provides a late summer pop of color, and provides nectar to hummingbirds during a time when most flowers are done for the season. https://www.helloyarrow.com/portfolio-1/project-one-f5w4d-fmdd5 monthly 0.5 2023-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/bb22533a-c44b-4a0b-b95a-040aff01383d/IMG_4377-Edit.png Portfolio - 67th Street Backyard 3 Years After Planting: Sages and Buckwheats bring fragrance and beauty throughout the year, while a patio and pergola provide space to enjoy the plants, and some shelter from the sun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/1705b154-a944-4715-9f40-71e042ab7052/Backyard+before_IMG_4553.JPEG Portfolio - 67th Street Backyard Before Planting: A sad expanse of weeds and grass, and a walkway that led to a patio that had no shade or shelter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/51cd2203-3ab0-4b19-9f46-408152c342ef/IMG_4571.jpg Portfolio - 67th Street Backyard 3 Years After Planting: A grape vine crawls along the garage and a small concrete patio under the tree provides space to enjoy some shade and the views of the yard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/c1d604c8-25fe-4541-9b72-936d692b453c/Backyard+before_IMG_4533.JPEG Portfolio - 67th Street Backyard Before Planting: A sun baked, shade-less patio and path are overtaken by Bermuda grass. There is no place to enjoy the shade of the single living tree in the yard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64da757f72388e1bae89318d/9556decc-e865-4d78-a906-fdbb7b73759b/IMG_5125.jpg Portfolio - 67th Street Backyard 3 Years After Planting: A shady respite under the tree is achieved with wide pavers. To the right tomatoes flourish. In the mid ground is the swale, which absorbs run off from the garage and the side yard, keeping the house from flooding. The swale will slowly fill in with grasses and filter the water, allowing it to percolate into the top soil for the plants to use in the dry months.
