Linda Bresler - Award-Winning Landscape and Garden Designer - I am an experienced landscape designer specializing in beautiful, drought-tolerant landscape designs that look great all year. My designs use little water, are low-maintenance, and do well in poor soil. I use plants from around the world; including California natives, Mediterranean plants, and plants from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and South America. I am passionate about plants and gardening, and like to impart my enthusiasm to my clients. My interactions with my clients tend to be educational and enjoyable as I explain why I use certain plants and not others in their landscapes. Recently my garden has been chosen as the Grand Prize Winner, 2012 Garden of the Year award by San Diego Home/Garden Lifestyles magazine.
