Inland Empire (CA) Landscaping Guidebook
These Beautiful gardens require less water, but don’t look dry; they are attractive, lush, and evergreen because they were transformed from grassy yards using the principles of sustainable landscaping. Conventional landscapes allow water to run off the property and often waste water. In the pages that follow, you’ll learn how to continue enjoying the Inland Empire’s amazing climate and outdoor lifestyle, while reducing outdoor water use and creating a diverse habitat of plants and insects. If we want landscapes that are truly resilient to changes in climate and water resources, we need to go beyond sustainable and water wise principles to begin managing each property as though it were a mini-watershed. By paying attention to the design of the garden, building soil and keeping rain on our properties, selecting climate-appropriate plants and managing our supplemental irrigation, we transform our landscapes into low-maintenance, abundant watershed wise enhancements to our properties.
