It features a garden that is native, organic, water-wise and not in the least bit wild or offensive. It is in keeping with preserving the natural environment. This yard practices environmental conservation and proves you can have it all - grass, flowers, shrubs, and possibly a low watering bill.
The ABVA would like to say thanks to the following area merchants for their generous donations:
