Going Native
Designed by Dallas Landscape Architect, David Rolston, our garden features a wide array of native and adapted trees and grasses. Lindheimer Muhly, Zebra Miscanthus, Pink Muhly, Feather and Maiden Grass are all featured prominently. Lacebark Elm, Ash, Oak, Eve’s Necklace, Juniper, and Pine trees provide shade, color, texture, and visual interest throughout the seasons. Lest you think that native grasses are dull or boring, Tifway 419 provides an inviting backdrop of vibrant green! Last year we worked with Patrick Dickinson (Rooted In) on a re-design for several areas - an attempt to incorporate additional color and perennials. Although we haven’t yet implemented the re-design, subtle changes are beginning to take shape. The yard is truly at its best in the fall, when the grasses are at their peak, but visiting in the spring allows one to appreciate the underlying structure and design. We view it all as a work in progress, and, just like everyone else, we "have (plenty of) weeds in our garden!”

Packing It All In at Rosewood Villas
We downsized our home 8 years ago and have re-landscaped our current property a few times. The good thing about having a small property is that it isn’t the undertaking or expense of a larger property. The downside is that I have to be selective with what and where I plant.
Our only grass is in the front. We replaced St Augustine with Zoysia and have been happy with it. In the front, I’m replacing Purple Heart ground cover and Dwarf Mexican Petunias with Flirt Nandina for a neater appearance that is evergreen. Carissa Hollies replaced Indian Hawthorns lost in the “Freeze”.
I’m having fun working on a pollinator garden in our narrow side yard. The entrance arbor and trellises give me more room to grow vertically.
With the loss of a cow pasture behind us, screening has become a priority, so we planted 8 Savannah Holly Trees along our back fence. Needlepoint Hollies replaced Wax Ligustrum lost in the “Freeze”.
Your ticket is good for all 3 of the gardens that are open. There is no agenda - just come and go as you please anytime between 11am and 3pm
