Advantages of Xeriscape Garden

Xeriscape provides practical solutions to various climate and landscape concerns. It includes placing plantings and structures where they can be used to cool a home in the summer or warm it in the winter. These are also used to block strong winds and to provide shelter from rain and snow,as well as to control surface drainage.

Indigenous plants have more resistance to pests and diseases than introduced exotics and including indigenous plants from your area will decrease your pesticide use. If you want to include exotic plants in your garden,choose those that will adapt best to the climate in your area and group them according to their watering needs.

Xeriscapes can be beautiful as well as drought-tolerant and by using a variety of leaf,flower and berry colours;together with textures and fragrance,can create a delightful garden for the senses. Even during times of drought and water restrictions,xeriscape gardens retain much of their beauty while conventional,water-thirsty landscapes suffer.

Each year,as the growing human population encroaches on wildlife habitats,more and more plant and animal species disappear. A more natural landscape has less impact on the environment and by following the Xeriscape principles,together with a careful selection of plants;you can lure birds,bees,butterflies and other wildlife back into your garden.
