The Gulf Hills Garden Club and the Pine and Ridge Triangle Garden.

A big, huge, Gulf Hills Garden Club thank you to club member Danny Guice!   He was able to transform a small overgrown weed haven, into a very neat,  “xeriscape” (drought tolerant) garden.  Danny did a lot of planning and research to determine which low water, low, maintenance plants to use.  He also managed to save some of the plantings he found on site and reincorporate them as legacy plants, linking the old plantings to the new.  Thank you for a job well done!

 If you are in Gulf Hills and have a moment, go by the Pine road and Ridge road Triangle and take a look at this recently renewed garden.  A showcase of low maintenance gardening.
