I am a member of the landscape committee of the PUD where I live in Santa
Rosa, CA. (Sunset Western Garden zone 14) There is an island in the street
that runs through the development. Most of the plantings need replacing and
we are looking for ideas to make an attractive, low maintenance space. Can
you help? The island is from about 3 to 18 feet wide and about 150 feet
long. There is water available that can be turned on as needed. There are
three mature olive trees that we want to keep and some large rocks (up to 6
feet long and 3 feet tall). What plants would you suggest for this space?
Thanks in advance.
