Grover plants a low-demand garden

The public is invited to tour Grover Beach�s Water Conservation Garden, which was recently installed in the large planters in front of Ramona Garden Park at 993 Ramona Ave. in Grover Beach.

City staff coordinated the project, and Mission Pacifica Landscape Design, a Grover Beach firm, put in the plants.

The city will use the garden as an example to help residents develop gardens with low-water demand.

Low-water and drought-tolerant plants include the Santa Barbara daisy, yarrow, Australian fuchsia, Spanish lavender, cape rush, Berkeley sedge, blue hibiscus, penstemon, tea tree, New Zealand flax, Autumn moor grass, lamb�s ears, manzanita, euphorbia �Tiny Tim� and peppermint tree.
