Xeriscaping Increasing in Popularity

Xeriscaping is a landscaping technique that has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in arid regions where water conservation is a priority. The term xeriscaping comes from the Greek word "xeros," which means "dry." Xeriscaping involves designing a garden or landscape that requires little to no watering beyond what is naturally available in the area. It involves the use of native plants, efficient irrigation systems, and other techniques to reduce water consumption and create a beautiful and sustainable outdoor space.
