This part weekend we attended a family wedding at the Estancia Hotel in La Jolla. The service was incredible. I think that they really captured the spirit of hospitality. The grounds were wonderful and I believe that they are award winning. With the exception of two large lawns where they have weddings, every plant that I saw was water wise with many many succulents. It was all I could do not to take a cutting or two.

I love this shaded garden that was out of the way. The two heights look great!

the lawn softens the flagstone. I wonder if you could do this with fake lawn? I know plants like thyme would work well. It is nice for a patio. I think that this could work well for the patio in our front yard.

Set up for a wedding in the courtyard at the Estancia Hotel in La Jolla.
