You can actually get quite a lush look from native plants in your area. You are also Lucky enough to live where you can have great plants such as phormium and succulents galore. Secondly if you want to use some things that would require more water, add an irrigation system and, a good soil mix (soil, compost, and organics). You can also just add this is pockets as well. Add textures with ornaments as well as different types of stone. Grasses can provide movement and softness. Evergreen can provide statue like presence as well as privacy, and formality. Succulents can provide architectural elements. xeric perennials can add color for years to come. annual materials can add splashes of color that that transform the mood of the garden with each season. Herbs, most require less water and fertilization, they also add refreshing scents and flavors to your space and cooking.
