Native Plant Garden in San Mateo, CA
Taken on May. 3, 2016
Western society has glorified the aesthetics of gardens like this, with short plants and lots of space. Such gardens are practical only in more arid regions and on sites with poor soil. This garden is located in San Mateo, CA, in a region with a long dry season in summer. This aesthetic works better here than in the more humid portions of the country where the conditions support taller plants.
