Description
Gardening in an arid climate is nothing like growing in a temperate or tropical climate. It requires a special set of considerations, careful plant selection, and a whole host of important maintenance techniques so the garden can be cared for sustainably and with minimal effort.
In Dry Climate Gardening, horticulturist Noelle Johnson shows you how to create a lively landscape that requires minimal water. She introduces you to dozens of plants that thrive in low-water conditions in dry climates and walks you through the entire process, from garden design and plant choice to planting techniques and caring for a garden in the desert.
Whether you live in the Southwestern US, the Mediterranean region, or in another xeric climate, the advice found in Dry Climate Gardening is key to your growing success.
