Dry Locations
Print this pageIt’s summer and it hasn’t rained in over a month. The temperature is 95 degrees. You think to yourself that it is much cooler than yesterday. You have watched your neighbor watering his plants twice daily for the past 4 weeks. From the comfort of your air-conditioned living room, you are reminded that your plants will survive the drought because you were thoughtful enough to use material that will adapt to dry conditions.
Nice work!
