Description

A Xeric garden can be a great low maintainance garden option. Featuring many drought resistant plants, a xeric garden's goal is to eliminate the need for supplemental water for a particular landscape. These gardens mainly use plants attuned to the specific climates or environment that they will be placed in. They will have enough water capacity to not cause runoff and water waste, however they will have enough water to survive without needing additional water.
