XERISCAPING vs LAWNS By: Zoey Riser
What is Xeriscaping? -Xeriscaping is when using plant material and rocks instead of a lawn. -Xeriscaping is usually used in desert areas.
Xeriscaping is good Xeriscaping is a good idea because: -Less money spent on water -Less care taking time -Appreciation of native plant material
Xeriscaping saves water -Xeriscaping saves water and money because it is plant and rock and it does not require a lot of water. -Water costs a lot of money.

Lawns look nicer than xeriscaped yards -People say lawns look nicer and more taken care of than xeriscaped yards
Xeriscaping is cool - Xeriscaping helps with saving on water and money -There is less care taking time spent on it -It shows appreciation to nature and plants
