Native Desert Gardening Schematics
Design Your Sustainable Garden
Using native plants in your garden or landscape is a sustainable, water-friendly option that is also beneficial to local and migrating wildlife. The Living Desert gardens team has created two example pocket gardens, each featuring native plants!
These schematics were made as part of a collaboration about native desert gardening with The Desert Sun.
