"As often happens when you say I’ll worry about it later, later happened, and spring brought a bumper crop of dandelions absolutely thrilled to have found a yard owned by an anti-pesticide crusader with no affinity for lawn care." —Maggie Slepian on why you should kill your lawn (on purpose).

Stage 2 of my little rock garden is complete. We had enough of the right sized aggregate and some pea gravel on hand to mulch the slope and most of the scree.
Micro weeding before spreading the aggregate was the hardest part. I left some local volunteers, including the ridiculously tall fleabane, just because I like them. They'll eventually be replaced by chosen imports. -

The first rock garden plantings are starting to show. I've left some of the "local volunteers" to help hold the soil until I find just the right crushed stone mulch, and more plants of course.
Gritty rock garden with large and small boulders forming a slope and scree, backed by a grey parged wall. Purple Siberian irises, yellowish lewisia, and fuschia-pink dianthus are blooming. You can just make out small sedums between some of the rocks.#gardening #gardens #rockgardens #alpinegarden #flowers #xeriscaping

It's garden planning time in our neck of the woods and I'm working on a planting list for the small rock garden I built last summer. Any suggestions or discussion of suitable plants would be welcome.
So far I have 2 small sedums to move in from a temporary location and an abundance of wild strawberry and creeping thyme all over the place.
The garden is south facing on a slope in full sun, North American climate Zone 4a, min winter temp -30C to -35C. There's a paved path on the south and west sides and a wall of the house on the east. This makes it fairly warm, and thus dry, in spite of the 80 to 100 cm of precipitation (much of that snow) it gets every year.

Edit to clarify: images were taken last summer. More snow today and coming this weekend.

Garden featuring many South African native plants mixed with a few annual wildflowers outside the Mann Lab on the UC Davis campus.

@stephanie @Artsandsocks We removed the grass in our front yard 20 years ago and went with a xeriscaped garden. The plant mix has changed over the years as the microclimate in our front garden has changed, but native plants are the way to go.

This #garden was conceived to help expand San Francisco's urban forest and it was designed to be an example of #xeriscaping. It is drought-tolerant and requires no additional #water other than seasonal rain.

Sedum divergens, one of our lesser known native sedums in B.C.
I propagated this from a small cutting of one we found in the yard at the place we rent and I decided to see if it would work as a container plant. Three years in and I think it's a success. Going to take some cuttings and introduce more into the drier parts of our yard.

@maiakbc It's a good point about #MudSlides. I agree and yet I think one thing we have to get used to doing is solving big problems even if it creates smaller problems we have to also solve.
We aren't guaranteed that the best way out of the #ClimateCrisis has no complications. We aren't even guaranteed there is a way out. It's going to be a bumpy ride.
In this case, that's why I tagged #xeriscaping. This is something people in the southwest have some experience with, so I'm going to trust they'll do what they can to be thoughtful. Maybe some expert on that issue will chime in here. (hint, hint)
But, either way, clearly there is no way to justify the continuation of water use just for aesthetics if we are likely to run short of it for essentials. If that means people have to sometimes plant something else, or even have to move to be out of the paths of potential mud slides, that's probably better than others suffering without water.
