Landscape Design
A drought-tolerant landscape does not have to be just cactus and rocks. You can have a beautiful, colorful yard that provides great enjoyment. Below are ten design templates to fit many different tastes and needs. Most are templates from demonstration gardens around town so that you can also see what they look like when planted.
