water efficient landscape design (post #15375)

I manage communications and conservation for a water and sewer district in San Diego County.  I am producing public education materials about water efficient landscaping. My biggest challenge is that nobody here, including the professional landscape designers and architects, have magazine quality photography of water efficient landscapes to show San Diegans that this isn't about cactus and gravel anymore.


The photography on the front cover of the August 2007 (no. 116) issue of Fine Gardening is stunning, as are the photos on pages 5, 47 and 50.  Do the magazine, the photographer, or any readers have photos of this quality of water efficient landscapes to inspire San Diegans?


My deadline for new photography is Sunday. Let me know. Thanks.

Mike -


I strongly urge you to contact Tom Ash who, thge last I heard, was with the Municipal Water District of Orange County.  He is the author of Landscape Management for Water Savings, and has spoken publicly on the topic for years.  I am sure he would have something for you or a way to connect with what you need.
