SPECIES DIVERSITY THE LANDSCAPE PLAN CONSISTS OF NATIVE & NONNATIVE DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANT SPECIES. TREES HAVE BEEN CHOSEN FOR VISUAL CHARACTER!STICS, FORM AND WATER USE. AN EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE TO CREATE A MORE SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPE PALETTE BY INCORPORATING TREES TOLERANT TO DROUGHT CONDITIONS, POLLUTANTS, AND ARE RESISTANT TO BREAKAGE.
