A
Greek Word
Xeriscape (pronounced: ZIH-rih-skape ) is a type of landscaping
or garden design that saves water by growing plants that don't
need a lot of water. The word �xeros� comes from the Greek
word meaning �dry.� So a xeriscape is a dry landscape or a
dry garden. If you live in Florida, where it rains a lot,
it will be hard to have a xeriscape in your yard. However,
if you live in California or other dry areas, a xeriscape
is a great way to grow a garden that doesn't need a lot of
water!
