Pocket Park
04/24/15
No park is complete without some plants. Trees provide a source of shade while flowers, bushes, and other shrubbery give the park its relaxing and calming environment. It's important to take into consideration what kinds of plants to use when working in a desert. While one may think of cacti and tumbleweed when they think of the desert, there are plenty of trees and flowers that don't require much water and look great as well.
