Xeriscape is a great way to have a garden that works with the environment - using native plants with varying water needs and resulting in a relatively low-maintence landscape. When it was created, the Xeriscape demonstration garden was a great example. Now though, it seems that the garden needs a little more TLC. Spruce up the xeriscape garden, and then evangelize it even more so residents can learn from it. http://www.ci.fargo.nd.us/Residential/Xeriscape/
