Q: Juan, I’m planning to redo my yard and am looking for some design tips. I want to do the work myself. Can you provide some resources to help? A: That sounds like a wonderful project. I’d recommend visiting yardtopia.com for inspiration, and tips on design and planning. Check out its SimplyScapes visual designer tool.

California native corner Juan’s March plant: island snapdragon
Island snapdragon ( Gambelia speciosa ) is a perennial shrub or vine-like plant native to the Channel Islands. Plant it as a hedge, a groundcover, on a trellis or in containers. Its trumpet- shaped red flowers attract pollinators, and it grows quickly with easy care. It blooms best in full sun but prefers partial shade when planted inland. Water it just once or twice a month in the summer. The “firecracker” variety is especially popular.
