Rather than a specific 'look' or a limited group of plants, Xeriscape is a combination of seven basic landscaping principles." This site explains the principles and provides before-and-after photographs of gardens landscaped using them. There is some Colorado focus, as the site is from Denver Water; the term "Xeriscape" was coined in the 1980s by one of its environmental planners.
