Xeriscaping = Water Conservation
Xeriscaping is a water conservation concept to utilize water efficient landscape designs to save water, but are also attractive.
Xeriscapes do not have to be cactus or rock gardens. Often they include other native and drought tolerant plants. When you think of dry gardening, you may picture a wild, natural looking landscape. But the xeriscape water conservation principles can be applied to different styles of landscaping. You can create a more formal English, Southwestern, or Japanese garden using the same basic principles. In arid and semiarid climates, where water conservation is important, xeriscaping is a wise choice. Xeriscaping can also be used to reduce the amount of maintenance required for a beautiful yard or garden.
