California Greenin’
Santa Barbara gets only
15
inches
of rain a year, so it made good green
sense to add unfussy grasses and
drought-tolerant natives. Because
the couple wanted to minimize
time spent on gardening and
maximize other activities, they
installed a drip-irrigation system
that automatically waters plants as
needed. Pinpoint watering also
eliminates many weeds. ■
