I have written before about how I almost enjoy the plants at the zoo more than the animals. They do such a great job there and I’ve noticed that in certain areas, much of the plant life is drought tolerant and there are some great examples of landscape design to be had. At our visit last week we headed to the Safari park in Escondido. This is quite a bit inland from the zoo and it gets hot during the summer months. Much of the landscaping reflects the different climate zone (I think zone 22, but not certain).
