Texas Hill Country Suburban Gardening

Slowly but surely transforming a blank builder's special into a water-wise, predominantly native, wildlife friendly landscaping with gardens that will grow with our family.

The dry creek bed was originally a design feature out of necessity, to stop the runoff from our porch roof from continuing to erode out front lawn. The end result has been much less mess when it rains, and a pleasant divider between our overwhelming coleus and the beautyberry, gaura, and fringe flower combination on the other side.

A mixed border with Texas hill country flair! In the front, big muhly shows off its autumnal shape, bordered by creeping dahlia greggi. Fall aster, purple coneflower, autumn sage, butterly weed, mealycup sage, and red and San Angelo yucca round out the mix.

This spiral butterfly garden is designed after the spiral herb gardens as a water-wise option for a cottage look with a lot of shape. Mountain Laurel is just starting to put on its spring show.

A garden for the birds! We started with our large live oak and moved outward from there. In front, dwarf ruelia border an Oklahoma redbud.
