Word of the Month! Did you know that xeriscaping is a water-efficient landscaping practice designed to minimize irrigation needs? By incorporating drought-tolerant plants and sustainable materials, xeriscaping not only conserves water but also enhances the beauty and biodiversity of outdoor spaces. In the built environment, xeriscaping is a game changer! It reduces water consumption, mitigates stormwater runoff, and promotes sustainable urban design. This approach leads to healthier ecosystems and creates resilient landscapes that thrive in arid regions.
