XERISCAPE (Waterwise Landscaping)
Xeriscape is a simple, seven-step approach to developing a lush but water-wise landscape. The beauty of this method is that it not only saves water, but it saves time, energy and money. The added benefit of xeriscaping is that less maintenance is required -- less fertilizing, less pruning, less weeding and less mowing. This leaves more time for summer fun.
Note: Xeriscape is not the same as zeroscape, which uses no landscaping at all or is limited to gravel and rock. Bamboo Garden Xeriscape
