San Marcos homeowner Jennifer Dell got rid of her front yard’s scruffy grass by sheet mulching—and then, with her family’s help—planted what is becoming her dream garden. For all their labor, Dell won the Vista Irrigation District’s 2022 WaterSmart Landscape Contest award. This story is the last of this year’s series in The San Diego Union-Tribune’s Home & Garden section. Take a read and see (via photographer Hayne Palmour IV) Dell’s beautiful work.
