Garden Size: 2,300 sq. ft., front
Started: 2022
This corner lot with almost full sun exposure was grass for decades before being re-planted in November 2022 as a part of the LADWP turf replacement program. With nearly 2,300 sq. ft. of space, we tried to balance cohesive calmness and spontaneity. Now five months old*, the garden has a few hundred California native plants, fruit trees, garden boxes, two dry creek beds, a bubbling fountain, and a baby coast live oak tree.
While the Garden Tour has traditionally featured established gardens (2-3 years or older), Jack’s Garden was selected to share the process of lawn removal in light of the new drought restrictions and rebates.

This is basically what I’m planning to do, but I’m just concerned with the neighborhood cats that see it as a nice new bathroom.

Cayenne powder or coyote urine will help shoo them away

Cougar urine, nothing will come near it due to fear of death.

I once lived across the street from here. Moved in 1989.

What about mulching in winter to save water? You’d start planting in late February through March.

I’ve read that with cardboard & paper, this can bring termites. Is there something i can do to use this method but also avoid a situation like that?
