1 Xeriscape Garden The : Grass isn t always greener Photography by: CJ Reilly III and Eric Parke Did you know that the common turf grasses covering lawns across America are the single most irrigated crop in the US, as measured by surface area? Typical yard grass covers nearly 50,000 square miles of our country. We can potentially cut this high water usage in addition to the high costs of maintenance and fertilizer by more than half if we start to fill our lawns with water-conserving and drought-tolerant plants, such as the ones found in this Xeriscape Garden. This environmentally friendly and resource-conserving landscape offers economic and ecological alternatives that can help us change the way we think about our lawns. Did you know? Water-conserving and drought-tolerant plants can reduce home garden water usage by 50% to 60% per year. Aside from occasional pruning and weeding, maintenance is minimal. Watering are low and can be met with simple irrigation systems. Let s not forget about the birds and the bees! Incorporating a range of drought-tolerant plant life into home gardens provides local ecosystems many birds and insects with a diversity of food sources. This relationship between homeowners and nature becomes a win-win for communities: when we add a greater variety of these colorful flowering plants and shrubs to our yards, we can cut our water bills and in turn, support the environment of birds, animals, and insects that live in our backyards. To explore further, please visit The Xeriscape Garden was made possible with support and donations from the Glickberg family in memory of Caitlin, Janet, and Jack O Hara.
