In this garden, there are both pink and white sage, Russian sage, Mystic Spires Salvia, Belinda's Dream Rose,Pride of Barbados, Asian Jasmine, and Mexican Flame Vine. It is seasonally trimmed to keep it manageable, fertilized twice annually, and watered on average once or twice a week in the heat. It supports a huge variety of insects, birds, and reptiles- hummingbirds, finches, lizards, toads, and countless pollinators like Carpenter bees, honeybees, bumblebees, and  beetles are found here.

When it comes to smaller yards, you're still able to make a garden work- but you'll need to adapt! A raised bed helps maintain everything in places with limited soil space or poor existing soil conditions.

There are a lot of structures that can be used over and over again, but are super beneficial to the growth and support of the plants. One idea is setting up a trellis; this can be used to grow things like watermelon or squash through the warm months, and then used for peas and beans in the cool months! Trellises also save TONS of room- choose vertical growing whenever possible to save space!
