Oak Woodland Gardens

 

Oak Woodlands occur on a variety of hilly habitats where there's no summer water and conditions remain warm to hot and sunny most of the day. When gardening under oaks like these Coast Live Oaks (Quercus agrifolia), be sure to use shrubs, perennials, and ferns that are drought tolerant. A perfect example is the massed white blossoms of the 'Canyon Snow' cultivar of Douglas Iris (Iris douglasiana).
