Adored Meadow, La Canada

Homeowners recognized for their contributions to town’s sustainability

Theodore Payne Foundation selected the Taylor’s lush, low water, La Canada meadow for the 2019 Native Plant Garden Tour. During the tour, the Taylors were recognized for their water-saving leadership. See coverage of the garden and tour in Earth Day coverage from the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.

Thank you for hosting! Native Plant Garden Tour 2019

The variety of color, form, texture
and movement created by the plantings
… we enjoy every day – as do birds, bees, butterflies, etc.

Every single member of the FormLA team
was a delight to work with, and we
never could have achieved the
garden of our dreams without their
knowledge, expertise and guidance.
We continue to engage FormLA to handle
our garden maintenance.

Vickie Taylor, Houzz Review

Project Snapshot

Tour visitors delighted in the front meadow’s vivid green mix of IdealMow grasses, including Dune Sedge, Deer Grass and Juncus. Punches of pink, from Pink Ribes’ chandalier-like blooms to the bubble gum blooms of Western Redbud, inspired selfies.

See the garden’s seasonal changes in the full project gallery in Houzz, where you can save your favorite ideas, and hear about lawn free life from Vickie and others.
