MAEscapes Demonstration Landscapes
ENTRANCE GARDEN
This is a hot, dry site with full sun and wind exposure. Native plants are used in groups to hold moisture and physically support each other.
RAIN GARDEN
Our east and west rain gardens are strategically located to intercept storm water and allow it to soak into the soil, reducing runoff.Water tolerant plants vary and may include herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees.
EDGE GARDEN
This unique garden mimics woodland or field edge using trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants. It receives sun until mid-afternoon and is partly sheltered from the wind.
MEADOW GARDEN
This site receives full sun and contains very poor quality soil. It is landscaped with native grasses and forbs.
