Life has been busy for me on the personal front the last month, so I've been neglecting updates, blogging, and the like.
Aeonium has a couple of pokers in the fire right now, and today I felt like spotlighting one - Jason and Julia's house. Jason is a friend of mine from Cal Poly and he and his fiancee Julia have recently purchased a house here in San Diego. I'm helping with the landscape design, and Jason (an architect himself) is overseeing, and to be honest, doing, the installation. There really is no backyard space on the property due to the siting of the house, so we are creating a back yard in the front yard. We are going for more of the outdoor living room feel. There will be a wrap around deck with cutouts for in ground planters, a flagstone living room area, a vegetable garden, and a plant palette heavy on California natives, and some drip irrigation to keep it all alive.
Its been great fun working with the pair of them, and the yard is starting to take shape. They are documenting it here at: http://thecactusrecoveryproject.blogspot.com/ The fence went in recently, the deck is next on the docket. We are all pleased with how things are shaping up right now, and I'm excited to see this continue to move forward!
