Native Backyard Habitat

Interesting? This 2008 backyard habitat brims with over 100 types of Texas native plants. My husband and I desperately wanted to get rid of the water-hogging grass replacing it with plants which require less water.

When the beds in this picture were first created, they looked more like graves than anything else. Creepy to say the least!

Landscaping with the slope of this yard tested one's nerves. Rocks were hauled in to help form the beds and line the meandering stream that winds it's way through and down towards the lower end of the yard.
