Well, it just never made sense to me that people in the desert should have lawns. Use native plantings instead.

In this area, you used to see a lot of dogwood trees and azalea bushes (native to this area) in people’s yards, when there was a lot of housing going up in the 50s and 60s; dogwoods grow wild in the woods right behind me. That’s no longer the case since people are going to garden centers and demanding plants not even native to this area, such as hibiscus. I’ve even seen palm trees on the lake, and at a car dealership on the main rd. Don’t know how long they’ll last with the kind of winter we had this past year, and the growth seems to be stunted.
