This garden owner wanted to get rid of the lawn and always wanted a drought friendly space. The garden is the result of extra plants on job sites that the garden owner worked on, donations from friends and free postings on Craig's list. All hardscape material was destined for landfill before the garden owner picked them up, threw them in the truck and put them in the yard. 
The garden owner doesn't have a green thumb Landscape designer and friend Katrina Coombs of Outside Instyle helped with the original set up. Since then the garden has evolved, with the owner adding plants where there seemed to be an empty spot or something died, changing plants out, and moving them around.
