In recent years California has been facing extreme drought, and in
2015 they passed state-wide water restrictions that affect home owners.
Unfortunately the drought is only going to get worse, and gardeners who
aren’t willing to abandon their beloved pastime entirely are going to
have to learn how to garden with the absolute minimum of water. The Drought-Defying California Garden
highlights the best 230 plants to grow, shares advice on how to get
them established, and offers tips on how to maintain them with the
minimum amount of water. All of the plants are native to
California—making them uniquely adept at managing the harsh climate—and
include perennials, annuals, shrubs, trees, and succulents.
