Creating a Cultural Tapestry in Your Garden

A garden represents more than a passing horticultural interest. It serves as a personal statement that speaks volumes about an owner’s disposition towards their home, the community, the environment and most importantly, their culture. Every garden, no matter how large or small, should carry the essence of the human cultural fabric. California, the true melting pot of world cultures is the epicenter of cultural expression through one’s garden. At Forget Me Not Landscape Design, we understand the value of your garden making a cultural statement.

Creating the True California Style Garden

Californians have been known for two qualities that make The Golden State a great place to live in: Respect for diversity and pride in a culture that comes from the celebration of many world cultures. The cultural fabric of the state boasts influences from every continent. Roxy Kim Perez, the founder and director at Forget-Me-Not Landscape Design incorporates this celebration in the intelligent design of aesthetically and culturally pleasing California Style Garden plots.

Since the San Diego- based firm was first established, Roxy Kim-Perez has been a strong advocate of environmentally friendly landscaping that draws from California’s wealth of indigenous plants and locally available building materials. San Diego imports 90 percent of its water from the Colorado River and from Sierra Nevada runoff via a pipeline that transports water from the Sacramento River Delta to Southern California. Native plants and succulents adapt to the soil and weather conditions better than plants from wetter climes and are therefore ideal for your garden. With decades of knowledge and experience, Roxanne and her team carefully select the plants and materials that go into making your California Style Garden a reality.

It is ironic that native plant species have been dying out because of the introduction of non-native species. These new species consume larger quantities of water in a land where the conservation of water is paramount. At Forget-Me-NotLandscapeDesign.com, we recognize the importance of preserving our groundwater and ensuring the survival of native plant species. Roxanne Kim-Perez encourages you to choose a California Style Garden that proudly declares your identity while serving to preserve the state’s precious plant life and dwindling water supply. These plants require less water and do not require herbicides or pesticides, thereby reducing the adverse effects on the environment and allowing the spread of these exquisite Californian plants.
