The Enchanted Xeriscape
This tri-fold pamphlet describes the best ways to create a natural landscape that will reduce water use in New Mexico.
There are many types of vegetation suitable for the backyard. Sometimes species such as the Kentucky bluegrass are introduced that require more resources than the land can provide. It is important to understand the benefits of suitable plants. The pamphlet suggests vegetation based on three levels of water requirements within three sections of New Mexico. If a xeriscape is introduced into your backyard, you will see an increase in natural plant diversity and a decrease in annual costs for water and fertilizer. The pamphlet also provides a list of suggested reading if you wish to learn more about xeriscaping.
