Bud and Barbara Hoover's 1920s Palm Springs home originally had only sand—water was scarce, and stays were brief. When they renovated in 1989 to live there year-round, they added a pergola over an outdoor dining area. Landscape architect Michael Buccino brought in mature mesquite and jacaranda for shade, covered ground with native stone and river rocks, and planted bold sculptural specimens: golden barrel and organpipe cactus, fan palms. Containers of pelargoniums and petunias add seasonal color. The garden "reflects the tranquillity and strength of the desert."
