Xeriscape, Xeriscaping

The term “Xeriscape” was coined by the Denver Water Department in 1981. The word is a combination of “landscape” and the Greek word “xeros,” which means “dry.” The primary goal of Xeriscaping is to create sustainable landscapes that require a minimum of water, while still remaining attractive.
