If you love gardening also want to reduce your water bills than I have something for you ! And There is a totally free surprise for you

Xeriscaping continues to gain popularity around the world as people discover the benefits of this landscaping technique.

okay, let’s give you an idea about what “xeriscaping” means. Xeriscaping, where one can have a garden, but with limited use of water and minimal maintenance. Xeriscape landscapes require less irrigation than traditional landscapes and therefore conserve water (and your money!). While especially popular in desert areas like Arizona and other parts of the Southwest, elements of xeriscaping can be incorporated by any homeowner wanting to beautify their property without installing yet another sprinkler.


Xeriscaping is a method of garden design that involves choosing plants that can be maintained with little supplemental watering and they have a nickname too that is "Desert Landscape". Xeriscaping doesn’t just have to be for arid climates. These principles can be implemented in all ecoregions and lead to positive outcomes like reduced weeds, the creation of dense native plantings, less yard maintenance, minimized use of pesticides and fertilizers, and reduction of non-native lawns.


 Seven Principles of Xeriscaping

1. Sound landscape planning and design.
2. Analysis and Improvement of soil.
3. Appropriate turf areas.
4. Efficient irrigation.
5. Plant selection & knowledge of native plants.
6. Use of mulches.
7. Appropriate landscape maintenance



Now let's talk about why we need to have a knowledge of native plants? why we can't just google xeriscaping plants and bring them home? let me tell you your why's.

  1.  Native plants are better adapted to the regional climate variations than non-native plants. 
  2. This often results in native plants' success without excessive watering, fertilizers, or pesticides.
  3. Native plants are also thought to provide a more beneficial habitat for wildlife, making them an excellent choice to support the birds, bees, butterflies, mammals, amphibians, and other creatures that share our neighborhoods with us. 

Homeowners can design xeriscape gardens with non-native plants, but I want you to take native plants as an option first. Because I am going to tell you how you will find native plants in your region using a website and it is totally free.
