THE WATER-SAVING GARDEN

Pam Penick

How to Grow a Gorgeous Garden With a Lot Less Water

A guide to growing beautiful gardens in drought-prone areas utilizing minimal water for maximum results.
With climate change, water rationing, and drought on the rise, more people than ever are eager to conserve water but have a fear of water-thrifty gardens populated by cactus and rocks. This friendly, colorful, contemporary guide introduces gardeners and homeowners to the wide range of beautiful water-saving garden designs, techniques, and options now available.
Includes a directory of 100 plants appropriate for a variety of drought-prone regions of the country, and information on popular gardening topics like native and drought-tolerant plants, rainwater harvesting (swales, rain barrels, cisterns, etc.), gray-water systems, permeable paving, and more.

PAM PENICK is a garden designer, award-winning blogger, and the author of Lawn Gone! She is a contributor to such magazines as Garden Design, Organic Life, and Wildflower and has received several writing awards from Garden Writers Association. She lives and gardens in water-challenged Austin, Texas.
