Where do I begin? Teresa had to work today to finish up her school year records, etc. So I decided I would go out and spend the morning taking pictures. I thought about where I could go and ended up choosing the Xeriscape Garden. A xeriscape garden is one were the yard is divided into zones and planted accordingly. For example, zone 1 might consist of water loving plants and this zone is irrigated most. Zone 2 would be plants that like to be moderately wet and are irrigated much less often. Zone 3 would be for native and dry climate plants which would be irrigated only in severe drought.
Over the next couple days I will show you some of the flowers blooming in our xeriscape garden here in Springfield. Maybe in this day of high prices and water shortages the xeriscape garden is something you could consider to preserve our precious water resources.
