A lot is said about designing, installing, and maintaining a low-water landscape. In this presentation, we will explore 7 basic principles that help us accomplish all that. We need to think of healthy soils, stormwater management, the right plants for the location, and biodiversity… In a way, ideally, we are regenerating an ecosystem, of which we are an integral part. In addition to that, we will showcase principles and examples of the Watershed approach to Landscaping.
