Two arctostaphylus McMinn shrubs planted, one at entrance and one at exit to parking lot.
Drought tolerant lavender trailing lantana added to east side of parking lot to echo those along entrance drive.
When we saw this ceanothus 'Julia Phelps' in the nursery it called out to be added to our grounds and we found a spot beside the deck where it can really show off as it grows.
The Cal Clauer memorial lavender was planted in a prominent place on the east side of the building.
Two coyote bush and two small leaved buckwheat will form a carpet of green under our sign on Old Blossom Hill Road.
Another lavender trailing lantana added in the southeast corner planting area.
