As a
Northern Californian experiencing a serious drought, I am thrilled to see more
and more gardens filled with planets that need NO water. It is called
xeriscaping and it is gorgeous and has enormous variety. If you’re tired of the
constant mow/water/fertilize/ mow cycle of your lawn, consider getting rid of
it altogether. It’s not as bizarre as it sounds. Some water conservationists
estimate that up to 40 percent of a household’s water usage during the summer
months is spent on outdoor watering, so ditching the lawn altogether can save
you time, money, and a precious resource. One eco-friendly option is to replace
all that turf with plants indigenous to your region, which will require less
water and look far prettier than any plain ol’ square of green grass every
could. Start a xeriscaping movement on
your street.
