Ipomoea longifolia	Blue Paloverde – Cercidium floridum	SIN AGUA post rain storm

SIN AGUA GARDEN

“Sin Agua” means “without water” in Spanish. Hence, this garden features desert landscaping using mostly harvested rainwater. Any homeowner can adapt the landscape concepts demonstrated in this garden to their own landscape. Demonstrations include water harvesting, control and use of runoff, as well as testing native plants for adaptability under the rather challenging conditions of alternating flooding and drought. The plantings are dominated by native shrubs and ephemerals, with scattered small trees. This garden is at its blooming peak following summer rains, and in the spring following moist winters.
