Due to last years' drought, I've decided to use natives as the mainstay of my gardens, keeping the more 'demanding' plants to a minimum. I've convinced my Mom to do the same, as she is on fixed income...her water bill is currently $65 before she ever turns on the faucet, with another rate increase due soon!

I've been greatly inspired (and educated) by reading the Wasowski's books about landscaping with native plants.

Are there any other 'native' enthusiasts here in DG?

In the garden,
