[M.A. Appleby · Rating 4 out of 5]

Then I read this book and realized the necessity for good stewardship as it relates to water. Because I am also in the green industry, this became a bible of sorts for me and reference it often.

This book specializes in plants that are drought-tolerant. By using such plants, and using plants that are designed for your area, you can conserve water.
