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.
