Madre Abad Park
Summary
Since the lot is located in Las Vegas, a dry place, I looked for plants that would survive in this type of climate, but that would also contain bright colors that would make the park much more pleasing. We are used to seeing pale shades of brown and some red. But with the plants that I have found, I believe it will give those in the community a chance to see such natural beauty that we are not used to seeing. Since we live in the desert, it is wise not to use grass, since it requires much water. Instead of grass, there would be plenty of low water bushes and trees.
