Many of you may not know that the term Xeriscaping was created right here in Colorado, that’s right, Denver Water fused the Greek word “xeros” (meaning “dry”)and landscape to form what we know as Xeriscaping today. Unfortunately,Xeriscaping has received a bad reputation over the years and is perceived as nothing more than a desertification of one’s yard. The misconception of “rocks and
cactus” has replaced the underlying goal of an overall change in our water management philosophy and the idea of “enlightened conservation.”
It’s important to recognize the true goal of Xeriscaping, which is to understand our environment and to efficiently utilize available resources to create striking, efficient landscapes.
