This is Maurice and Judy's yard which is so beautiful. Maurice planted a lot of the plants, plus the grapes. Last year I came in and planted more plants to fill in with color and diversity. He hasn't watered it this summer and look how great it is! Most of these plants are natives with some Mediterranean plants added (and what I call mostly natives).

He does water the grapes a few times a week, and they are wine grapes: pinot noir and I think chardonnay (I will have to ask him). All in all very satisfactory and quite lovely to stand in. And lots of bees and butterflys!
And one more thing. The best part of their yard is this little fellow:
