FINALLY! I absolutely love that you are featuring a drought tolerant garden! wish you could have spent more time in this garden and naming the plant selections. With our water restrictions and no rainfall in the summer, lush cottage type gardens are just not possible.

Im in Sacramento, in the same region. Nice to see something local. Signed up for the blog

Really loved the garden!😻 Great work with the landscape.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Also loved that story of inheritance of plants between granny, mother and her daughter 👍🏻💗

Beautiful! The oaks suffered 20 years of drought, beetle infestation then hit with SOD. If healthy and trimmed to relieve end weight, they will live well over 100 years. Northern CA has a lot of varying zones. I’m on the coast in cool zone 10a with deer and other creatures. This is a beautiful garden. So fun to hear she’s passing her gardening love to her daughter.❤

Very pretty and wise garden. I saw many rare bushes and herbs. Thanks for sharing

Wow, Rebecca's garden is absolutely stunning! I love how she has designed it to be drought-tolerant and filled with out-of-the-ordinary plants. It's amazing how she has utilized the slope and water availability to create such a beautiful space

I live on the east coast but I did live in Southern California for quite a few years. I wasn't much into gardening then as I am now so it was really nice seeing this beautiful garden. I could wander around aimlessly in Ms. Sweet's garden for hours. It looks very serene, tranquil and therapeutic. It was interesting to see how she works all the drought-tolerant and thirstier plants in each area. Thank you for sharing!

This was such a lovely video and appreciate the education about the drought tolerance of these plants. I had a hard time seeing the orientation of the beds to the house/driveway, front/backyard. Would have liked to see the landscape design.

Just lovely. Love the idea of using color/shape/texture to tie gardens together.

Very impressive garden. So green and beautiful! I know how much work goes into dry climate gardens that are also filled with animal wildlife. Truly amazing accomplishment.

Thank you for sharing you lovely garden & beautiful plants. Greetings from Portugal!

[kaitjackson]

Beautiful, especially the prairie garden!

[gardencali-arkansasstyle]

I agree, such a beautiful garden. Delightful to see. Thank you🪻

Sherri and Rebecca so enjoyed this. Both of you are so down to earth, surpisingly not all gardeners are. I live in a 6b zone so zone 9-10 plants are much different than what I can have .BEAUTIFUL garden Rebecca. So pleased you have your mother and daughter close.

Beautiful garden. I've never thought of hydrangea as drought tolerant. Living in north Texas, I've tried penicle Hydrangeas with no luck. Maybe I was watering too much. Thanks for the tour. Please more tours from harder climates.

[bonniejackson]

Beautiful garden! I love the grevillea. So wish I could grow this.

[sunitashastry]

Awesome garden. Very knowledgeable person - the use of Australian plants is so interesting. Does not look like California at all.

In conversation we support with uh hush, oh wow, and such. On videos it's a little distracting. Thanks for the tour. Lovely garden

[lasted_leather]

These videos are great. Would be even more valuable with a mention of the zone

Could you tell us what the plant is with the yellow ball bloom at timestamp 12:24?
