While big areas of the country are buried in snow right now, other places are suffering serious water shortages. California is in the middle of the worst drought in state history, and scientists fear that more of the same may be on the horizon. Even mild droughts can wreak havoc on your garden, and water conservation is crucial during more severe shortages. But you don't have to grow only cacti to keep from winding up with a brown, shriveled garden during dry spells! Instead, you can "xeriscape" your garden by using a garden design that makes the best use of the water that's available. Read on to discover the basics of xeriscaping, and enjoy a beautiful garden even when it's dry out.
