DROUGHT TOLERANT GARDENS

LOW WATER REQUIREMENT, PERENIAL GREENARY,

AESTHETICS, ADAPTATION, SOLAR RADIATION, MAINTENANCE FREE

Why Drought Tolerant PlantsDrought tolerant plants are not limited to cacti and succulents. There are thousands of species of beautiful flowers, shrubs, vines and ground covers that are “un” thirsty and could save more than 50% of the water used in a more traditional landscape. Drought tolerant gardening also involves sensible management like installation of drip irrigation systems, timers, water sensors, and above all, MULCH! Mulching and composting beds will improve soil quality, reduce evaporation and encourage better water absorption. Native plants, those plants which naturally grow in our climate, need only about half as much water as most exotic species. They also provide habitat for our native birds and butterflies.
