The second house we visited on last Sunday's home garden tour had mastered the perfect desert landscape. Everything around this Spanish hacienda house was natural to our Sonoran desert.
On another side of the yard was this kumquat tree filled with tempting fruit.
Let's not forget the pool. This is Arizona and a pool seems to be an important feature for any desert home.

Embrace the landscape,
Lovely. Even to just sit and look at the pool must be a treat on a hot day in the desert, Sharon.
I love how they use native plants. I wonder how one "salvages" an ancient tree? Was it transplanted from elsewhere?
Yes, it was transplanted from a property that was being cleared.
A lovely place and I really like all the indigenous desert plants. I don't think I have ever eaten a kumquat, and I have certainly never seen a kumquat tree! Maybe one day.....
Such a beautiful place and location.
The pool... my favourite feature. : )
