A tapestry of thyme: just one of the many ways we have replaced all the turfgrass on our property. Thyme is adapted to a Mediterranean climate (to which we’re heading), crowds out grass/weeds, produces scores of tiny flowers that bees love, and is delightfully fragrant.

The tapestry includes a selection of creeping thymes used more commonly as ground covers than for culinary purposes: red creeping thyme (which is particularly robust), wooly thyme (with fuzzy, silvery leaves), and Elfin thyme (which forms an especially dense/compact mat)

Love to see mosses and ground cover growing between flagstones and pavers!
