(I know… the image is a bit much, but it does spark the imagination, doesn’t it?)
Living in a dry and arid climate definitely has its challenges. Desert landscaping takes a little more planning, and a revised garden vision… none of which should limit the serious gardner or landscape designer.
Realistic desert landscape designs include only plants and trees that can survive with much less water, and tolerate more heat. It makes no sense to buy plants that can’t survive in your garden. Just a bit of due diligence will keep you on track when you visit nurseries and building supply stores. Remember, just because they offer a plant, doesn’t mean it will survive in your community. A little research will save you money and physical effort!
