One of the things occupying our time is working with the landscapers (Procare Mazatlán) to get our courtyard landscaped. We really want a lush and tropical feel, and I think they have done a great job.

There are two plants that have placeholders in the bed – one is a dwarf banana that Coco is germinating so it will be a while…and the other is a Traveler Palm (photo below) that they haven’t located yet. Mazatlán is a tough city for landscapers as it is difficult to be able to rely on nursery stock.

We are going to have irrigation placed in the bed and over that, landscape fabric and gravel mulch. It should be really easy to take care of and should become lush and tropical before you know it in this weather!
