IRRIGATION-FREE

A primary focus of our work has been exploring ways in which irrigation can be removed from the landscape equation altogether. A common misconception is that this is simply impossible, as landscapes always require irrigation - especially in arid climates; however, there are plants growing all around us, in every climate zone, every day, that are doing just fine without the help of a sprinkler. To see how we have been working to create landscapes in diverse forms that can grow and thrive without irrigation, click on the links below:
