Xeriscaping
 Websites presented in alphabetical order Conservation & Xeriscape 
 Water saving and management tips and a guide to the Xeriscape "method of landscaping. .... 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. http://www.water.denver.co.gov/Conservation/Xeriscape/ Topics: Gardening, Photograph Collections, Photograph Collections: Nature & Wildlife, Photograph Collections: Regional: United States Last updated Jul 8, 2009 The Gardening Launch Pad
