Civano Landscape Design Guidelines
Civano Landscape Design Philosophy—Creating a
Sense of Place
With Civano's warm climate and enough water, it is possible to grow many
plants that one could also grow in Los Angeles, Southern France, or Sydney,
Australia. Although these exotics may grow in Civano, Civano Neighbors
feel strongly that a Sonoran desert plant palette should dominate Civano's
landscapes. These landscape designs should draw on the wealth of Sonoran
desert plants, as well as near-native and adapted plants to create a place
with desert character, rather than imposing a "tropical paradise"
theme on the land. Our hope is this: if you were magically whisked around
the world and set down in Civano, you could tell what part of the world
you were in just by looking at the vegetation. You could say, "Of
course, I'm in the Sonoran desert." In short, Civano's landscapes
should help create a "sense of place" unique to their desert
setting. Of course, these Sonoran style landscapes will also conserve
water—naturally.
