Xeriscaping
This is a term often thought to apply only in desert or dry areas where
there is an obvious shortage of water. But it can be applied wisely
in
all types of climates. Here in our part of the Caribbean we receive many
inches of rainfall each year and some of the island is green year
round.
However, just a few days of our hot sunshine without rain and plants
begin to suffer. We are beginning to transform our gardens establishing
terraces
and rainfall catching areas that will allow the rainfall we receive to
soak into the ground rather than running quickly off to sea. We
have also
established cactus gardens in areas that benefit from being kept dry
as a termite preventative such as around our foundation.
