Her depth of knowledge in native California drought tolerant plants enabled her to choose a variety of flowering and non-flowering plants that we really enjoy and keep our yard looking beautiful all year round without costing a fortune in water bills.”

“Several years ago, Alison assisted us with our desire to replace our front lawn with landscaping that would create a bug and bird friendly environment that would be drought tolerant and would require low maintenance. Alison was able to recommend a variety of plants, shrubs and flowers, along with suggestions on placement and spacing. Our colorful front yard, replaced the lawn and is now a model for the neighborhood.”
