Hi I just came to the xeriscaping forum because of my big mouth . We have a rather large traffic island in our local town beach parking lot that is pitiful, all weeds with hosta yucca and a tired old hydrangia .My big mouth said we should make it a community flower garden and an example of how xeriscaping can work 2 of my neighbors and I are meeting with the town next week . ( I live in a town where irrigation systems are discracefully abundant) I have untill the spring to plan this space but I could use some help from people who have more experience than me. the island is oval and about 40 feet at the longest and maybe 30 feet wide . The town will be willing to help but we have to figure out what needs to be done
any suggestions ?
