Very few places in America have the diversity of plant life found here in Santa Cruz.
Come home from a busy day and fall into the landscape of your dreams;
  maybe it's a forest wonderland, Zen garden, tropical oasis, barbecue hangout or desert tundra.

Sol Inspirations can take your idea no matter how simple or extravagant and turn your barren lawn or concrete pad into the outdoor environment you've always wanted.

One way to make use of a small gopher ridden space is to create a fun path with pots of your favorite vegetables and herbs.
The a narrow space between the house and driveway doesn't have to be dull.  Select slow growing vines and easy care perennials to make the area more interesting.
The farmers market is a great place for fresh food the only thing better is your own yard.  If space is limited select vegetables that produce multiple fruit and herbs that are perennial.
Choose a waterwise garden, for example start with a mulch base then add drought tollerant plants.  Drought tollerant doesn't have to be boring, there are many native plants with wonderful texture and color.
