SHELLY ANN ABBOTT, MLA, CREATED A RENOVATION LANDSCAPE DESIGN THAT IS AN ECLECTIC MIX OF SOUTH OF THE BORDER AND THE SOUTH OF FRANCE IN THIS TUCSON LANDSCAPE. THE BACKYARD HAS SEVERAL OUTDOOR GATHERING SPACES, A DINING AREA, AND POOL LOUNGING AREA, AND A QUIET CAFÉ TABLE FOR TWO. A SPANISH COLONIAL FOUNTAIN HAS A FABULOUS SOUND AND PROVIDES WATER FOR DESERT WILDLIFE. THE SPACE IS HIGHLIGHTED WITH ACCENT PLANTS IN WHICH THE OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE COMES ALIVE WITH FABULOUS BLOOMS AND YEAR AROUND BURSTS OF BRIGHT COLOR USING SUSTAINABLE NATIVE PLANTS.
