Californian Garden
Being a fan of drought tolerant plants I was drawn straight away to the Californian Garden at the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne.
It features Palms, Agaves, Cactus and lots of other drought tolerant plants. These types of plants are now becoming more popular in Australian home gardens as they are quite architectural and look great in contemporary gardens.
The garden itself in not as large as some in the botanic gardens but it is very well landscaped and is a great place to draw on inspiration for the home garden.

How interesting to see this perspective on California gardening.
We have a seminar coming up on the use of Australian plants in our Bay Area gardens! I’ll be writing about it soon on BayAreaTendrils…. Cheers, Alice
