Rediscovering a Raised Planter


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
