If you read anything I write, read this and share it. This is my critique of South African gardening and its participation in drought creation and climate change. But there is a way forward, there is another way to garden. Here we start with suggestions for getting rid of lawn, and the biggest water guzzlers in your home.

http://edenfound.weebly.com/water-wise-mulch-ground-cover-and-no-lawn.html are some pictures of the low ground covers growing at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens in Cape Town, and available in its nursery, with links at the bottom to my water-wise gardening articles, or you can go directly to the writing here with the first in the series of articles I've completed thus far, from which links will lead you to the others, and are all directly under 'design' in the header navigation bar: http://www.greenidiom.com/drought-tolerant-plants.html |
