Some may find that their xeriscape garden is more of a flower and herb garden, or grassland. This is especially true in non-arid regions that use xeriscape techniques. In this case, use the Flowersherbs or Grassland habitat options. (Habitat Network)

A successful xeriscape relies on thorough, regular watering during the first two summers to train roots to grow deep into the cool earth. Inconsistent watering can stunt this growth and leave plants reliant on you for years to come. (Landscaping Network)

Unhealthy plants are the ones most likely to attract pests. In a xeriscape garden plants are healthy because they are growing in their desired conditions and are not being over-watered or over-fertilized (Okanagan Xeriscape Association)
