Xerogardening

The Xerogardening approach to landscaping and gardening, reduces or eliminates the need for supplemental water; from irrigation.

Also known as "water-wise landscaping" and “xeriscaping”, it is a waste-efficient landscaping and exterminating technique, which utilizes "unthirsty" native plants; and drought tolerant exotics.

The word "xeriscape" is a combination of the prefix xero- or xer- meaning dry or dryness and the suffix -scape meaning scene or view. The word "xeriscaping" is trademarked by the National Xeriscape Council.
