Free Downloads Gardening For A Dry California Future
California has always been part of the arid west. And so its always been right to conserve water. But maybe now more than ever. Yet you can still have a wonderful garden, and even lawn, by choosing the right plants for the right places. In this eBook, Patten, a veteran low water designer, describes step-by-step strategies to transform high water design situations. Produce gardens, proper zoning, native low water lawns, tips for xeriscape design styles, advice on planting California natives and Mediterraneans, as well as how to take advantage of microclimates. These are just some of the topics covered. Special sections on native California Oaks, instructions on how to grow a native meadow, and a month-by-month native bloom cycle list included.

Chock full of practical tips about low water plants, plus techniques for growing edible and attractive gardens. Author clearly has lots of experience as a landscaper, and gives examples of situations commonly facing homeowners. The book covers many relevant topics such as native plants and meadows. Suggests specific plants. An appendix even shows which native plants bloom each month. Very helpful.
Easy to read and easy to use! This book is my go to book when trying to find the correct plant to use in a low water situation. The lists and the choices are perfect and it motivates one to make more conscious water saving plant choices.
Very informative. The drought situation in California is critical at this time. This booklet is an informative start in researching what plants will be appropriate in my area
