  • An inspiration hit me so I built another desert landscape in one section of my backyard. Hopefully, I chose the hardiest cactus plants that can survive despite being exposed to the extreme desert weather. This is part 1 of 2 parts. Also check out the second part where I show behind the scenes footages where I talk more about how I created this desert garden.

One thing I can share with you is, if you hunt for a certain decor you most probably won't find it. What I do is buy art /decor I think I can use in my landscape and just keep it aside. Then my inspiration will just pop up one day and I start gathering my plants and decor together to do it. Now I've another inspiration and I will carry it out for my next video, fingers crossed 🙂

    Hi Ana! Very beautiful 😍! You all did a great job, so hard workers (🥰 that cute little helper) in the hot of the summer🥵😅 Good selection of species, indeed. I love the blue barrel -F. glaucescens for sure like Daz said-, the Opuntia, the agave pups 😃 and the Espostoa. And the pond is fantastic, you need some plants that live submerged to give oxigen to the water, like Ranunculus aquatilis (spring) and hornwort (Ceratophilum demersum) perfect to prevent algae in the hot of summer. Plant them in April, or before you have algae, otherwise they won't do well. Lovely, lovely!👌😘☮️🌵💖

I love that one and have tried hard to get my hands on one. The water feature looks amazing and I love the shot of that featured the Buddha in. Very nice garden and I hope we got to see more of these desert garden installs soon!!!! My favourite part was seeing the family involved. Massive thumbs up!!! Seeing your son with the shovel brought back a childhood memory where when asked to to any work in the garden by my dad, I would demand to be comissioned!!! Hahahaha. Ah! Those were the days. But my love for gardening is probably the best gift my dad has given me. Thank you so much for sharing Anna.
