The document discusses the principles and practices of xeriscape gardening, which is a style of landscaping that reduces or eliminates the need for irrigation. It explains the seven fundamentals of xeriscape design: planning, soil improvement, appropriate plant selection, practical turf areas, mulching, efficient irrigation, and maintenance. The document also provides many examples of low-water use trees, shrubs, perennials, groundcovers, vines, grasses, and annuals that are suitable for xeriscape gardens.
A shrub is woody or semi-woody perennial plant with little or no trunk and grows up to a height from 50 cm to less than four meters.

These owners loved the Southwestern look, and wanted NO MAINTENANCE, and VERY LOW WATER plants. Plus they also wantewd a modern clean look.
So, Agaves, Ocotillo, Aloes, a Palo Verde Tree, and succulents were used exclusively.

How I replaced my lawn with truly California Native plants to save water and create a habitat for birds, bees, and butterflies. I also include a discussion on maintenance.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. Xeriscape History
• Denver water department - 1978
• Reduce irrigation
• Based on sound horticultural principles
• Also known as water-wise , water
TM
efficient, watersaver
3. Xeriscape - What is it?
• Xeri - scape
• Pronounced “zeri-scape”
– xeri = dry
– scape = vista
• Quality landscaping that conserves
water and protects the environment.
7. Seven fundamentals
1. Plan and design
2. Consider improving the soil
3. Use appropriate plants and zone the landscape
4. Create practical turf areas
5. Consider using mulches
6. Irrigate efficiently
7. Maintain the landscape appropriately
15. Plan & Design
• Hard surfaces and
the use of heat
barriers
– Shade
– Organic materials
– Fences or hedges
– Control air
movement
16. Improve Soil
• Add organic matter to soil of shrub and
flower beds
– Improves plant health & conserves water
• By absorbing and storing water in a form
available to plants
• Till in 4 inches of organic material
• Not practical for trees and grass areas
17. Use Appropriate Plants and Zone Landscape
• Use native plants
when possible
• Well-adapted
exotic plants may
also be used
• Drought tolerant
does not mean
“plant and forget”
18. Use Appropriate Plants and Zone Landscape
• Low water use
zones
• Moderate water
use zones
• High water use
zones
19. Create Practical Turf Areas
• Turf areas should be
based on life style,
site conditions, and
water needs
• Traditional turf
areas require more
water
20. Create Practical Turf Areas
• Turfgrasses vary in their need for
irrigation
– Fescue, bluegrass, ryegrass (use the most
water)
– Hybrid bermudas like Tifway
– Zoysiagrass
– Common bermudagrass, U-3
– Buffalograss (uses the least water)
21. Create Practical Turf Areas
• Consider:
– Reducing the size of water-sensitive
lawns through the use of patios, decks,
shrub beds and groundcovers
– The ease or difficulty of watering the
proposed area
• Long narrow and small odd-shaped areas are
difficult to irrigate efficiently
24. Use Mulches
• Organic
– Straw, pine needles, bark nuggets, wood
chips, sawdust and other wood products
• Inorganic
– Lava rock, rock, plastic, landscape fabric
25. Irrigate Efficiently
• Efficient irrigation systems can
save a lot of water
• Efficient systems include
– Soaker hoses, trickle, drip
• Overhead irrigation is
inefficient
• Zone irrigation systems
26. Irrigate Efficiently
• Determine how much
water is needed and how
often each watering zone
needs watering.
• Determine how long to
water.
• Determine how fast to
water.
28. Maintain Landscape Properly
• Proper mowing
• Proper fertilizing
• Proper pruning
• Properly timed pest control
• Avoid mechanical damage
• Periodic checks of irrigation system
