Houzz Call: What Are Your Spring Gardening Plans? (3 photos)

California entered its fourth year of drought in 2015, Texas experienced its wettest months on record last year, and 2016 has already delivered its fair share of extreme weather. Are you rethinking your planting palette to better suit your climate, whether that’s growing low-maintenance natives or well-adapted, noninvasive exotics?

In this Bay Area backyard, an outdoor living area is surrounded by low-maintenance, low-water plantings. Permeable decomposed granite pathways and spaced pavers reduce stormwater runoff, creating a space that’s not only relaxing and attractive, but also resilient.
