A hidden planter covered up by overgrown trumpet vine gets a makeover in my front yard with a drip irrigation system and drought tolerant plants.
- “Before” Fence covered with trumpet vine and raised planter is covered by shrubs. Raised planter is not visible.
In Progress: Clean up and new fence
Succulent Raised Planter repainted a darker brown and planted with water wise plants: Aeonium, Limonium perezii, Lavandula, Portulacaria, Echeveria

What a great transformation. The raised succulent planter bed is beautiful. Very nice plant combos there.

Thank you. The vines were always needing constant cutting back so the raised beds now are much easier care.
