Agave

Agave is a genus of monocots native to the hot and arid regions of the Americas and the Caribbean, although some
Agave species are also native to tropical areas of North America, such as Mexico. The genus is primarily known for its
succulent and xerophytic species that typically form large rosettes of strong, fleshy leaves.

Pros:

Slow growing

Low Maintenance

Great for large areas

Very hardy in summer and winter

Cons:

Susceptible to pests

Sharp thorns

Bad for small areas or near pathways

Cape Jasmine

Gardenia jasminoides is an evergreen, aesthetically pleasing shrub covered with fragrant white flowers during summer
months. The Gardenia or Cape jasmine is a highly enjoyable addition to any subtropical or warm temperate garden. Not
only is it an ornamental plant used in both the traditional medicinal and culinary applications, but the fruit is used as a
yellow dye and the flowers are fragrant cut flowers. They make for beautiful specimen plants and also do well in
containers. Native to the subtropical and tropical regions in Japan and southern China, this Gardenia ideally grows in
moist but well-draining soils, rich in organic material and with an acidic pH. It grows well in full sun but during the
warmer months, it needs some protection as the leaves might scorch or flower buds might drop. In cooler regions, they
enjoy sunny spots but just ensure that roots are kept cool and moist with a thick layer of organic mulch. A few common
names include Common Gardenia, Gardenia, Cape Gardenia and Kaapse Katjiepiering.
BOXWOOD SHRUBS

The Buxus genus includes about 70 species of slow-growing broadleaf evergreens with small, rounded, and leathery leaves.

Boxwoods are best planted in loamy soil in a full-sun to part-shade location, preferably in an area somewhat sheltered
from winds. Their roots are shallow, so the soil must be protected from the heat.

When grown as a hedge or formal screen, the primary maintenance for the shrubs will be in regular pruning, though this
will not be necessary if you are using them as specimen plantings.

PEBBLES

-A pebble is a small round piece of stone that is often smooth in nature. Pebbles are usually found near water bodies
such as lakes, rivers, or beaches. However, they can also be manufactured by breaking rocks into small pieces and
polishing them.

Pebbles are excellent for building a pathway, landscape design, or adding visual interest to your garden. White pebbles
are used to decorate different kinds of gardens. They give a relaxing aesthetic appeal to the place by complementing the
natural colors of the plants. Factory-made white pebbles are usually manufactured from white marble rocks.

Pebbles are great ground covers you can use them to fill areas around pathways or make a perimeter.
Tradescantia spathacea plants

- are among the easiest houseplants to care for. As long as they are watered
consistently, have access to sunlight, and are in a spot with good air circulation
that's not to dry, they tend to thrive. Tradescantia spathacea blooms any time of
year, but it is prone to root rot, if soil is not well-drained.

Bermuda grass

is valued for its exceptional heat and drought tolerance and a capacity to
withstand heavy use and recuperate quickly. Bermuda grass offers strong,
all-around durability especially in warmer conditions. The heat tolerance of
the grass is quite noticeable as it can withstand high temperatures for
extended periods.

Concrete

Made from mixed cement paste with water, sand, and rock. It’s a
highly durable material that can last a lifetime even with neglect.
Concrete planters are long-lasting and environmentally friendly
investments. Concrete is heavy and able to withstand elements such as
wind or rain. You won’t have to worry about your plants being ruined or
uprooted from getting knocked over.
