"No, Dorothy. I don't think we're in Kansas anymore!"
What a difference in landscaping between the Midwest and the Southwest . . . especially the desert area around Tucson, Arizona. This might as well be the Land of Oz!
This is a landscaped area along the driveway to a home, typically made up of a variety of cactus, desert trees, and rocks . . .
Sometimes, no trees. Just cactus and stones . . .
Or no cactus. Just desert plants and dry grasses . . .
And sometimes, mostly rocks . . .
Even in a very large yard, the gardener probably only has to come once a month . . .
What a spectacular driveway planting. When giving directions to your house, just say, "It's the house with the giant Saguaro cactus with eight arms beside the drive".
At some homes, it looks like they just left part of the native desert growth in place when they built the house . . .
If John Deere or Lawn Boy depended on this area for lawn mower sales, they'd be in big trouble!
"Yes, Dorothy. I'm sure we're not in Kansas anymore."
