Desert Sublime

SHELLY ANN ABBOTT, MLA, A MULTIPLE AWARD-WINNING LANDSCAPE DESIGNER CREATED A NEW VISION WHEN SHE DESIGNED THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE FOR THIS SONORAN DESERT RESIDENCE LOCATED HIGH ABOVE THE VALLEY FLOOR ON PUSCH RIDGE, IN ORO VALLEY, AZ. THIS LANDSCAPE HIGHLIGHTS ACCENT PLANTS IN WHICH THE OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE COMES ALIVE WITH FABULOUS BLOOMS AND YEAR AROUND COLOR USING SUSTAINABLE NATIVE PLANTS. THIS LANDSCAPE NOW HAS A SENSE OF PLACE IN OUR SONORAN DESERT, AND CREATES A DIALOGUE WITH THE OUTSTANDING DESERT VIEWS BEYOND THE WALLS. THIS LANDSCAPE WILL BE FEATURED IN THE GARDEN CONSERVENCY TOUR ON OCTOBER 5, 2013.
