Using Natives
In times of drought our
landscape is the first thing to be affected. The first area where we
should scale back on water usage is in our backyards. Planting natives
is a good way to counteract the cutbacks as they require little water
and minimum maintenance.
Many people think
that native plants consist of unattractive shrubs that are dry and
brown in color, and won't even consider them. Well, on the contrary,
natives can be very colorful and showy. In addition, low water use
turf for lawn areas and mulch and rock gardens can be added for to your
property as well, to decrease your water usage.
Through out this newsletter
there are ideas for consideration to help your landscape survive
through the water ordinances coming into effect in 2010.
P.S. Having to make drastic
water cuts to your landscape does not mean it has to look bad.

 Rock gardens: Arizona River rock is
one of the common rocks used for gardens. Add plants such as Rock
rose, succulents, and Yarrow for spots of color.
Forest Mulch: Add a layer of
mulch around plants. When plants are watered the mulch will hold
moisture which reduces water usage.
