    I am looking to mirror the Academy of Science roof in the front yard of a friend's house.

    I know they used 9 drought resistant plants that are native to SF.
    I was just wondering if anyone has any advice on how to do this?
    There is currently a mixture of grass that need to watered all the time.

    If anyone has any advice or suggestions please advise...

    Find a plant nursery near where the garden will be planted, then they won't have to readjust as much. Most outdoor nurseries have a variety of drought tollerent and native plants.

    There is also the native plant nursery in GGP behind the arboretum. They most likely raised all the plants that went on the roof.
