Landscape Design and Saving Water on Two Sides of the Same Street
There are miles of turf used in landscaping along streets in the Coachella Valley. Sometimes I think I am in Kentucky, or Virginia, or Pennsylvania--anywhere but the desert. Occasionally there is a street where the contrast between what used to be customary (and many of us brought to the valley from the places we used to live a customary idea of beauty) and what is beginning to be recognized not only as suitable, but 'beautiful' as well, stands out in marked contrast. It is as if we have learned to see the beauty around us. And as a result, we promote it. This unnamed street in Rancho Mirage is one such street.

ReplyDeleteThis site is so cool! As we all know, the limitations on avaialble clean, safe water here in the Coachella Valley will only become more important as a resource over the coming years. Bravo for hosting a forum that both educates and delights thsoe of us living here as to current and future developments regarding this precious resource. I look forward to participating and learning as the site develops. Carry On! Barry (a Palm Springs resident).
