I stumbled upon the blog of Carla Wingett of Flora & Fauna Garden Design in San Luis Obispo, California and her recent installation of California Buffalograss for a client!

Carla decided to go with a very natural meadow look, here’s how she describes it:

“This lawn is planted with California Buffalograss grass plugs and crocus bulbs. When it grows in it will require 1/4 of the water, will look beautiful grown out or mowed, and each spring it will be covered in tiny white flowers which will come and go with no maintenance at all. There are lots of varieties of grasses and bulbs which will work depending on your climate, but this combination will thrive in the hot and dry summers of Paso Robles, California.”

Doesn’t that sound so nice!?…Your very own little meadow in your front yard! And I love that retaining wall!
