Xeriscaping

Xeriscaping is a way of gardening that uses plants that need very little water. It is a great way to save water and help the environment. To do xeriscaping, you select plants that don't need to be watered very often, like succulents, cacti, and other types of plants that are adapted to living in dry climates. You can also use rocks, gravel, and other materials that absorb the sun's heat and help to keep the soil cooler and the plants from needing too much water. All of these strategies help to conserve water and make it easier to take care of these types of plants.
