Native + Drought Tolerant

Native + Drought Tolerant

A 'Xeriscape' garden can also look bright, lush and green; without wasting precious water. This effect is achieved by strategic implementation of natural ecosystems techniques. If you like cacti and succulents, they can enhance a drought tolerant garden; providing new opportunities for depth and texture, however these types of plants are not the only option if you are dreaming of a water conserving garden.

RAIN GARDEN
