CrossReducing the carbon footprint of the plant beds in your yard is one way to cut back on water use. In this garden, smaller islands filled with drought-tolerant plants and mulch, punctuate a mostly gravel yard, without requiring too much use of precious water. Most of the plants seen in this yard come from samplings that can be found in our next showcased yard, "College".
