Xeriscape Gardening - using Native plants and Succulents,
nature's architectural wonders .

Water conservation has become a very important consideration when gardening in the 
Western United States.  Back in 1981, an environmental planner for the Denver Water
Department, Nancy Leavitt, coined the word "Xeriscape" from the Greek word “xeri” 
for dry, (needing lttle water) and “scape”, meaning view or scene.  Together they mean
dry scene and embody the principles of water conservation through creative landscaping.

Xeriscape is conscious planting of plants compatible with the natural environment.
They can be green, beautiful landscapes with plants that are maintained with water
efficient practices and heavy mulching.
