Xeriscaping for a changing environment

The practice of landscaping with drought-tolerant, slow-growing and often native plants is called xeriscaping. The purpose is not to remove all plants but to design an outdoor landscape that uses less water. This approach encourages living and green outdoor spaces that closely match the natural landscape.
