Thank you, Verne! The backyard is amazing! You transformed a nearly barren yard into a Sierra oasis. It is tranquil and serene, offering an amazing variety of beautiful native plants. The meandering path to the picnic table is beautiful, as well as, the complementary path to the side yard. The water feature is wonderfully highlighted by the plants you picked out for me. The irrigation system(on a timer), the drought tolerance of the plants and their ability to coexist, survive and thrive with the wildlife(deer!) is especially appreciated. Thank you very much, Verne!
