Xeriscaping - CSU Extension Office
Xeriscape landscaping promotes water efficiency by using plants that are native and adaptable to Colorado's semi-arid climate.
Xeriscaping (zer-i-skaping) is a word originally coined by a special task force of the Denver Water Department, Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado, and Colorado State University to describe landscaping with water conservation as the primary objective. The word derivation is from the Greek "xerox," meaning dry, and 'scape' meaning the landscape pattern – thus, xeriscaping.
Learn about planning for and being creative with xeriscaping from Amy Lentz, CSU Extension Office expert.
