We installed a new Rain Bird irrigation system to water the new Marathon Sod lawn and plant beds on separate valves. The yard was in dire need of life, so Michael and I selected some colorful and fragrant landscape roses from Otto and Sons Nursery and low maintenance perennials to round out the garden plan. I selected a majestic Jacaranda tree to provide shade to the yard in the coming years. Michael chose some special butterfly bushes for each of the Workman daughters and explained how to care for them. How sweet!
