Xeriscaping is a type of landscaping that reduces the need for watering by using drought-resistant plants and efficient watering methods. It involves grouping plants with similar water needs together, improving the soil to help it retain water, and using mulch to reduce evaporation. Xeriscaping can significantly lower the amount of water needed to maintain a landscape while still providing an attractive garden.
Common blue rush is a clumping perennial rush native to western North America that grows 2-3 feet tall and wide. It has attractive grayish-blue-green foliage and spreads through branched rhizomes. Small brown flowers bloom from February to October. Blue rush is useful in wet areas and tolerates seasonal flooding, providing cover for birds. It can be contained, sheared periodically, or have dead foliage selectively removed. Propagation is by seed or division.
Puya alpestris is an evergreen perennial native to Chile that forms 3-foot clumps. It has long green leaves with recurved thorns that form dense crowns resembling yucca. In summer, it produces spectacular blue-green flowers on dense 6-foot spikes, though it may take a few years to begin blooming. Puya alpestris grows best in full sun, well-drained soil, with moderate to occasional watering, and is hardy to 15-20 degrees Fahrenheit.
Coffee trees can grow over 30 feet tall but are often pruned shorter. They produce white flowers that turn into green cherries, which take nearly a year to mature into ripe coffee fruit simultaneously on the tree. While coffee plants can live 100 years, they are most productive between 7-20 years old, yielding around 10 pounds of cherries or 2 pounds of beans annually with proper care. Coffee grows best in tropical regions within the Coffee Belt, which provides rich soil, mild temperatures, frequent rain and partial sun.
Plants need sun, water, air and soil to survive. They have different parts like leaves, stems, roots and flowers. Leaves absorb sunlight and oxygen, stems support the plant and transport water, and roots absorb water and minerals from the soil. There are different types of plants like trees, bushes and grass. Some trees lose their leaves in autumn while evergreen trees stay green all year. Plants reproduce through seeds from fruit or pollen carried by wind or insects to fertilize other plants. Plants are important as they provide food, oxygen, and habitats for animals.
The document discusses seven principles of waterwise landscaping:
1) Plan and design comprehensively by considering slope, exposure, soils and existing vegetation.
2) Evaluate and improve the soil if needed through testing, shaping, filling, fertilizing and adding organic matter.
3) Grade slopes to allow water to soak in and group plants according to water needs.
4) Choose appropriate plants like native grasses that require less water and use mulches to reduce evaporation.
Dogwood is a tolerant shrub or small tree with opposite leaves and entire margins that produces large creamy white or pink flowers. It is often found in riparian areas and mixed forests, and its showy flowers make it famous in eastern regions. Dogwood specimens with beautiful flowers can commonly be seen near Shasta Lake and Butte Falls.
Drought Conditions and Your Plants - Alabama A&M UniversityFabienne22Q
- Trees and shrubs planted within the last year are most at risk from drought, while established plants can withstand more, though azaleas and hydrangeas are suffering even if established.
- Xeriscaping involves grouping plants by water needs and limiting water use areas, as well as practices like only watering plants and not paved areas, watering based on plant type and weather, and using soaker hoses or drip irrigation.
- Established warm season turf can be weaned off frequent watering by raising the mowing height, reducing fertilizer, and allowing dormancy, while centipede and St. Augustine grass may need more water to survive prolonged

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Penstemons, the Nearly Perfect Perennial for Any GardenEva Montane
Penstemon is a huge genus of native American plants, with over 280 species. There is a species for almost every garden niche: tall, short, arid, moist, hot cold, anything but deep shade. Penstemons are inherit survivors, and require very little effort to grow.

It emphasizes the importance of organizing your garden space before planting, including making a map of the property and a design brief to determine how you want to use different areas. By planning out the design first, your garden will be easier to maintain with good organization and use of local plants suited to the climate and soil conditions.
Eva Rose Montane: What to do to keep your western gardenEva Montane
This document provides seasonal maintenance tips for dryland plants and xeric gardens. Some key points include:
- Prune woody plants in late winter while dormant, being careful not to prune certain plants every year.
- Mulch in the spring to keep weeds out and moisture in, using bark or wood mulch at 3-4 inches deep.
- Prolong perennial blooms by pruning them as needed.
- Leave plant stalks and leaves in the fall until fully brown before cutting back to avoid removing nutrients still inside.
- Certain shrubs require little to no maintenance from year to year.

4.17.2012. 5 things every western gardener should know beforeMTNativeLandscapes
1) Native plants are species that occur naturally in a particular region without human intervention and have evolved with the local ecosystem.
2) Cultivars are plant varieties selected for desirable traits that can be propagated, while maintaining those traits, but are not necessarily native to the region.
3) When planting natives, it is important to choose species from the local area, as they are best adapted to the local soil, moisture, sunlight conditions. This improves their chances of thriving with less maintenance.
4) Designing gardens with native plant communities mimics the natural ecosystems and provides food and habitat for local wildlife like pollinators. It creates a low-maintenance, sustainable landscape.
