Climate change and the resulting water crisis increasingly lead us to the idea that having and maintaining a garden is too much of a burden.
Often we give up creating green spaces because we fear we won't have enough water to irrigate them, and we frequently have to deal with water consumption restrictions related to drought.
Yet green areas can provide us with significant environmental benefits by filtering pollutants and dust from the air, allowing the creation of shaded spaces, and lowering temperatures in urban areas.
Let’s talk about how to practice water-efficient gardening by paying attention to two fundamental aspects: the choice of plants and how to practice irrigation.
The selection of plant varieties that can survive with a small amount of water is of paramount importance, without sacrificing the aesthetic factor that allows us to keep them beautiful and lush.
Below is the top ten of the most suitable plants for water conservation:
1. Agapanthus
2. Aloe
3. Tecoma Capensis
4. Clivia
5. Lavender
6. Plumbago
7. Rosemary
8. False Jasmine
9. Strelitzia
10. Succulents
It would also be very important to allocate recycled water for irrigation use through systems that allow us to recover rainwater, or technologies aimed at the purification of water wastewater intended for reuse.
These are the main precautions to not give up having a garden while safeguarding the environment, water, and our conscience!
