Drought-tolerant gardens save water and lower maintenance costs, making them both eco-friendly and practical. They thrive in hot, dry conditions where traditional gardens might struggle. Many drought-tolerant plants are hardy and long-lasting, providing beauty year-round. These gardens also attract pollinators and wildlife, supporting a healthy ecosystem.

To care for a drought-resistant garden, water deeply but infrequently to encourage strong root growth, preferably in the early morning to reduce evaporation. Add mulch around plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Choose native or well-adapted plants and prune as needed to maintain health and shape. Regularly check for pests and remove any weeds to reduce competition for water and nutrients.
