7Have you ever faced water-use restrictions and worried about how you can still grow a beautiful, productive landscape? Let The Water-Smart Garden show you how!

As freshwater shortages increasingly strike regions around the globe, it's more important than ever to employ water-conserving practices in the garden. Whether your landscape is filled with shrubs and perennials or fruits and vegetables, in The Water-Smart Garden, you'll learn dozens of techniques to limit water use while growing a gorgeous and thriving garden. Not only will you learn how to make smart plant choices and improve the water-holding capacity of your soil, you'll learn xeriscaping techniques, drought-tolerant growing tips, and plant care advice to make the most of low-water situations.

Also includes information on:

  • Harvesting and redistributing rainwater in cisterns and rain barrels
  • Employing methods like ollas and drip irrigation to target water directly to plant roots
  • Being more water-efficient in the vegetable garden by using mulches and targeted irrigation
  • Planting containers that require less-frequent watering
  • Replacing a lawn with more drought-resilient plants
  • Building swales and berms to redirect water to where it's needed

Author and dry-gardening horticulturist Noelle Johnson of @az.plant.lady makes it easy to help save this precious resource and still have a resilient, attractive, and low-maintenance landscape.
