cactusgardener's Ecletic Arizona garden

Garden Type: Desert | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Don't Know I'm Organic!

I live in Glendale, Arizona and have fallen in love with the Southwestern Xeriscape Landscaping. There are so many plants to choose from.

We have desert landscaping in the the front and back yards, as well as a potted organic herb garden and a small dog-friendly lawn.
